In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model that integrates layout configuration and production planning in the design of dynamic distributed layouts. The model incorporates a number of important manufacturing attributes such as demand fluctuation, system reconfiguration, lot splitting, work load balancing, alternative routings, machine capability and tooling requirements. In addition, t...

This study focuses on the carrying capacity estimation for Darkesh forest in Northeast Iran. Four factors were used for estimating the carrying capacity including tourist flows, size of the area, optimum space available for each tourist, and visiting time. Results showed that the physical carrying capacity was 2727 ha or 165 visitors/day, while the real carrying capacity was 2719 ha or 132 visi...

The carrying capacity is well identified tool to manage problems due to uncontrolled tourism for any destination. This report highlights the carrying capacity estimation of Kerwa tourism area, Bhopal, India. The methodology used in this report is a new two-tier mechanism of impact analysis using index numbers derived from a survey of 123 stakeholders. From this the individual component impact a...

Degradation of solids bearing load due to the infusion of moisture when exposed to the environment can leads to a decrease in their load carrying capacity and can also lead to the failure of the body from performing its intended task. In this short paper, we study some qualitative properties of the solution to systems of equations that describe the degradation in a linearized elastic solid due ...

The present theoretical analysis is to investigate the effect of nonNewtonian Pseudoplastic & Dilatant lubricants (lubricant blended with viscosity index improver)–Rabinowitsch fluid model on the dynamic stiffness and damping characteristics of pivoted curved slider bearings. The modified Reynolds equation has been obtained for steady and damping states of the bearing. To analyze the steady sta...

Abstract The subject of the study is deformation oxygen-free high conductivity copper. copper sample given in form a foam. undergoes an impact into elastic wall. strain rate hardening effect investigated. numerical model open-cell foam skeleton prepared framework peridynamics method. dynamic process compression with different velocities simulated. It has been found that essential for load-carry...
