This paper addresses a variant of the vehicle routing problem with time windows where service and travel times are modeled within framework belief function theory. theory is general as it offers to model several facets information imperfection, including uncertainty imprecision. An extension stochastic programming recourse used tackle problem. approach aims regain feasibility routes that missed...

This paper presents a novel hybrid FEM-based approach for nonlinear buckling analysis of truss with initial length imperfection. The contribution deals establishing two types finite element (perfection and imperfection element) considering large displacement based on formulation mixed formulation. Therefore, the global equation system is developed by assembling perfection elements. incremental-...

Geometrical imperfection, which is generally a result of manufacturing process and service conditions, plays crucial role in load-bearing capacity shell structures. This study presents numerical on knockdown factors cylindrical shells as torsional Mode-I type geometric imperfections under compressive loads. The deformation patterns obtained from liner bifurcation analysis (LBA) for shape are us...

Abstract Automated systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly support decisions with ethical implications where decision makers need to trust these systems. However, insights regarding in automated predominantly stem from contexts the main driver of is that produce accurate outputs (e.g., alarm for monitoring tasks). It remains unclear whether what we know about translates appli...

At the initial stage of design, structural strength and stability load-bearing members aircraft are mainly considered. In this paper, a support assembly analyzed. First, analysis, under design load 30.151 KN, numerical analysis shows that, in stress concentration area, peak value is 571.9 Mpa. The experimental strain sensor S6 position compared with results, error within 2.5%, which verifies va...

Agricultural products have always been China's traditional trade products, but the export situation of agricultural in China recent years is not optimistic. With rapid development Internet economy, cross-border e-commerce as a new model rising rapidly, and exports are also affected. Due to imperfection logistics system technology, asymmetric information access both parties, inconsistent quality...
