Abstract The aim of this work is to enable a step towards self-adapting digital toolset for manufacturing planning focusing on minimally constrained assembly line balancing. approach includes the simultaneous definition optimum number workstations, cycle time and assignment tasks workstations. A bespoke genetic algorithm (GENALSAS) proposed demonstrated which focuses examining simple balancing ...

For machining workshops that use automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for material handling and management, workstation layout AGV path are coupling factors affecting the cost (MHC). The multi-row is a typical pattern in many workshops, currently, there lack of studies on problem (MRLP) while taking into account path. This study established bi-objective optimization methodology integrating to minim...

Future conflicts may involve composite striker packages composed of manned and unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) supervised by mission controllers. Since situation awareness (SA) contributes to and is a crucial part of mission success, significant effort is now being placed on developing new technologies that have the potential of increasing SA for the mission controller. This paper describes the de...

Abstract The development, validation, and applications of an object-oriented free-wake solver for multi-rotor fixed-wing systems are outlined here. Advantages utilizing the philosophy modeling multi-rotor/wing problem described. To explore feasibility conventional desktop workstations, vortex lattice methodology’s time complexity is examined as evolving n-body advantage gained from employing wa...

Since the early days of manned spaceflight, hazardous effects of the space environment on living organisms have been disputed. With the continuous manning of the International Space Station, the planned Chinese space station, and renewed interest in returning to the Moon and sending manned flights to Mars, identifying and addressing the potential outcomes of long-term space exposures is critica...
