Aiming at the thermal safety and inconsistency caused by high temperature of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, a cooling structure embedded with flat aluminum heat pipe (FAHP) for Li-ion battery module is proposed. The three-dimensional model FAHP established considering regionalized radiation. characteristics are compared four progressive schemes, performance affected different convection (hconv) ...

In pavement management, prioritized resource allocation is imperative given the fact that there is rarely enough funding with highway agencies to address all the pavement sections. In view of the complexity involved in the decision making process, subjective evaluation based on expert’s judgments is unavoidable. Analytic Hierarchy process (AHP) has been applied by researchers to solve pavement ...

Most existing multi-attribute optimization researches for the modern CNC (computer numerical control) turning industry were either accomplished within certain manufacturing circumstances, or achieved through numerous equipment operations. Therefore, a general deduction optimization scheme proposed is deemed to be necessary for the industry. In this paper, four parameters (cutting depth, feed ra...

The evaluation of travel website service quality (TWSQ) is a multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem and has a strategic importance for those travel-related commercial companies. In practical environments, a decision-maker (DM) faces a variety of TWSQ that is often vague from human beings’ subjective judgments. The conventional methods for the evaluation of TWSQ are inadequate for deal...
