in this paper, the effects of roll center height of mcpherson suspension mechanism on dynamic behaviour of a vehicle is studied first and then the optimum location of roll center of this suspension system is determined for a conceptual class a vehicle. adams/car software was used for analysis of vehicle dynamic behaviour in different positions of suspension roll center, then optimization proces...

Plant location selection is a multi-criteria decision problem and has a strategic importance for many companies. The aim of this study is to propose a fuzzy approach for Plant location selection. This paper is based on a fuzzy VIKOR (Serbian: Vlsekriterijumsko Kompromisno Rangiranje) method. In this method, the ratings of various alternatives versus various subjective criteria and the weights o...

in this paper, the capacitated location-routing problem with fuzzy demands (clrp-fd) is considered. the clrp-fd is composed of two well-known problems: facility location problem and vehicle routing problem. the problem has many real-life applications of which some have been addressed in the literature such as management of hazardous wastes and food and drink distribution. in clrp-fd, a set of c...

This paper aims to develop a fuzzy dynamic programming approach formultiobjectivemultistage decisionmaking problems. Fuzzy dynamic programming usually convert the problems into corresponding single objective problems by an aggregate of hybrid objective values that expresses the performance of the particular stage decision. Weightassessment is an important problem arising from the evaluation of ...

in this study the location routing problem with fuzzy parameters is taken into account, this problem involves determining the location of the depots and routing of the vehicles in order to serve the customers. in this study a location routing problem with fuzzy travel times and due dates is considered and two objective models are proposed. the considered objectives are minimizing the total cost...

Fuzzy Dynamic Programming approach to the solution of unit commitment problem is presented and described in detail. The Fuzzy Dynamic programming provides the ‘fuzzy’ preference in obtaining an optimal solution in the presence of conflicting objectives and constraints. The Fuzzy dynamic programming handles one objective (i.e. minimization of operational cost) and two constraints (i.e. generatio...
