Numerical Thermal Comfort Analysis Using Combined Computer-Simulated Person with Clothing and Multi-Node Thermoregulation Model

Computer–aided Clothing Ergonomic Design for Thermal Comfort

Ergonomics is defined by the International Ergonomics Association ergonomics as the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance. Ergonomics is employed to fulfill the two goals ...

Model-adaptive Analysis of Indoor Thermal Comfort

We address the model-adaptive coupling between computational codes for indoor thermal comfort analysis considering different levels of detail in space and time. Starting with a whole-year simulation, significant periods are interactively identified in terms of a coarse thermal comfort analysis. After refining these critical intervals with respect to the spatial resolution, a multi-segment manik...

Design of Multi-Objective Model for Disruption Risk Assessment of Supply Chain Using Combined Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing

Due to the many risks involved in the supply chain, and the high costs associated with damage to the supply chain, risk identification and evaluation should be a top priority in risk management programs in organizations. Risk assessment and ratings determine the superiority of each risk based on the relevant indicators and thus provide an appropriate response to each risk. In this regard, this ...
