A multi-functional, three-mode, self-exciting pneumatic vibroactuator was investigated. The special feature of this is that it consists two excitation chambers connected by an elastic synchronizing chain. mathematical model the created, which solved numerical methods. laws (modes) movement working organ have been determined: harmonic, non-harmonic, and pulsating. results experimental research a...

This article studies a situation where a firm outsources production to a distant manufacturer. The firm has two possible freight modes; a slow mode and a fast but more expensive mode. We formulate a dynamic model and use it to analyze how the firm can combine these two freight modes to enjoy the lower cost of the slow mode while using the fast mode as a hedge against cases in which the demand d...

the aim of a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (mrcpsp) is to assign resource(s) with the restricted capacity to an execution mode of activities by considering relationship constraints, to achieve pre-determined objective(s). these goals vary with managers or decision makers of any organization who should determine suitable objective(s) considering organization strategi...
