RONALD W. FORCE and JO ELLEN FORCE Access to Alternative Catalogs: A Simulation Model

چکیده
The advent of microfilm or on-line computer catalogs raises the question: How many terminals or readers are needed? A computer simulation model was developed to provide the library administrator with information to answer this question. Based on empirical data of arrival rates and service times, systems with two to fourteen terminals are simulated. The decision variables include average patron waiting time, number of patrons lost, and average terminal utilization .

Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Deformation and Breakup of a Droplet under Gravity Force Using Interparticle Potential Model
Abstract In this paper interparticle potential model of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is used to simulate deformation and breakup of a falling droplet under gravity force. First this model is applied to ensure that the surface tension effect is properly implemented in this model. Two tests have been considered. First, it has been checked an initial square drop in a 2D domain can freely def...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Effect of Drain Pipe in Uplift Force and Exit Hydraulic Gradient in Gravity Dams
In this study, the effects of diameter and location of drain pipe in uplift force and exit hydraulic gradient in the foundation of gravity dams are investigated. For this purpose, a numerical model of gravity dam foundation is simulated using finite elements method. The results indicate that drain pipe under the gravity dam reduces the uplift force and exit hydraulic gradient. Location of the d...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Forming Force in Torsion Extrusion Process of Aluminum Alloy 1050
In this paper, torsion extrusion (TE) process on 1050 aluminum alloy was investigated by simulation as a severe plastic deformation (SPD) method and the effects of friction coefficient, angular velocity of the rotating die and punch speed on maximum punch force were studied. A finite element (FE) model was developed to simulate the TE process via DEFORM software. The FE results were validated co...
متن کاملThe effect of support parameters on the force transmissibility of a flexible rotor
Rotating machinery support design with the aim of reducing the force transmitted to the foundation has significant importance regarding the various applications of these machineries. In this paper presents a rapid approximate method for calculating the optimum support flexibility and damping of flexible rotors to minimize force transmissibility in the vicinity of the rotor first critical speed....
متن کاملOptimum design of a double-sided permanent magnet linear synchronous motor to minimize the detent force
In the permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), force ripple is harmful, useless and disturbing. The force ripple is basically composed of two components: detent force and mutual force ripple. This force is influenced by the geometric parameters of the permanent magnet (PM) motors; such as width, thickness and length of the magnet poles, length and thickness of the rotor and stato...
