Evaluation Method for Flexible Infrastructure Planning under Uncertainly

A Flexible IT Infrastructure for Integrated Urban Planning

This paper presents an IT infrastructure based on an event driven architecture with the objective to decrease the turnaround time for urban planning. Most urban planning takes a long time, not only to get all stakeholders involved, but also to assess various scenarios on several aspects according to (inter)national laws and regulations. By supporting urban planning with IT, the turnaround time ...

Trajectory Planning Method for Flexible Arm Mounted on Flexible Base

In this study, we consider a point-to-point motion of a flexible arm mounted on a flexible base, composed of a slide rail and helical extension springs, and then propose a trajectory planning method for reducing residual vibrations. The Lagrangian approach, in conjunction with the assumed mode method, is applied to derive the equations of motion of the system. In order to accurately construct t...

APPLICATION OF PREFERENCE RANKING ORGANIZATION METHOD FOR ENRICHMENT EVALUATION METHOD IN ENERGY PLANNING - REGIONAL LEVEL

Nowadays energy is one of the most essential needs of human being and it can be considered as the basic prerequisite of social and economic development.  Hence, many of the correlations and legislations of a country are affected by it. Since Iran has huge source of gas and oil, it has turned to a fossil fuel oriented county. But as oil and gas sources are non-renewable ones and cannot be replac...

optimal trajectory planning for flexible mobile manipulators under large deformation using meta-heuristic optimization methods

in present paper, a point to point optimal path is planned for a mobile manipulator with flexible links and joints. for this purpose, a perfect dynamic modeling is performed for mobile manipulators considering large deformation in links, shear effects, elastic joints, effect of gravitation, and non-holonomic constraints. to study large deformation of links, non-linear relation of displacement-s...
