A time-dependent freight tour synthesis model

A New Continuous Multi-State Reliability Model with Time Dependent Component Performance Rate

A CSS1†is a system with the continues-state components. When a component has the ability to obtain all the situations from completely working to completely failed, it named continues-state component. In the real world, performance rate of elements are continuous and decrease by time. Continuity of components causes infinite working states and grows up the system states. In this paper we propose...

A Strain Range Dependent Cyclic Plasticity Model

Hysteresis loop curves are highly important for numerical simulations of materials deformation under cyclic loadings. The models mainly take account of only the tensile half of the stabilized cycle in hysteresis loop for identification of the constants which don’t vary with accumulation of plastic strain and strain range of the hysteresis loop. This approach may be quite erroneous particularly ...

Performance Analysis of a Tour Scheduler Focusing on Time-dependent Gains for Electric Vehicles

After briefly presenting a tour-and-charging scheduler capable of maximizing the timedependent gains for electric vehicles, this paper conducts an extensive analysis of its performance through a prototype implementation. Main concerns are put on the acquired gain, waiting time, and tour length according to the schedule depth and the number of destinations. Basically, the scheduling service prov...

Multimodal Statewide Freight Transportation Model

A single-vendor and a single-buyer integrated inventory model with ordering cost reduction dependent on lead time

Lead time is one of the major limits that affect planning at every stage of the supply chain system. In this paper, we study a continuous review inventory model. This paper investigates the ordering cost reductions are dependent on lead time. This study addressed two-echelon supply chain problem consisting of a single vendor and a single buyer. The main contribution of this study is that the in...
