Modelling Human Behaviour at Work using Fuzzy Logic: The Challenge of Work Teams Configuration

One of the first steps in the planning of a new engineering project in industry is its partition into subtasks and the configuration of a work team to execute it. This decision making process is typically performed by a project manager based on his/her past experience and the available (though frequently scarce, uncertain and dynamic) information about the cognitive and personal characteristics...

Human behaviour in epidemic modelling

modelling of the indentation behaviour of thermoplastic honeycomb sandwich panels

thermoplastic honeycombs based on polypropylene are one of the latest types of cores used in sandwich structures. up to now there have been few experimental and modelling studies on the mechanical behaviour of sandwich structures with thermoplastic cores. in this paper, by considering the similar properties of foams and thermoplastic honeycombs, attempts are made to model the static indentation...

Human Factors in Complex Systems The Modelling of Human Behaviour

Human beings are most often an integrated part of complex systems. In order to describe such a system with appropriate accuracy it is necessary to model the human components with the same accuracy as the technical components. Human factors must be included and modelled with the same degree of precision as the system’s mechanical parts. A human being is perceived as a psychosomatic unit with cog...
