A Holistic Approach Based on MCDM for Solving Location Problems

Location decision is an integral part of organizational strategies involving many factorsthat may be conflicting in nature. This paper presents a holistic approach of the multi-criteria decisionmaking (MCDM) methodology to select the optimal location(s), which fits best for both investors andmanagers. A case study is also provided to illustrate the application of the proposed holistic approach....

Shrinkage Curve: Experimental Study and Modelling

In order to study the shrinkage process of clayey soil, we perform a modified laboratory test allowing to measure simultaneously and continuously the vertical displacement and the weight of natural state specimen. The experiment was conducted on undisturbed clayey specimen. Using the experimental results, and on the basis of the existing relation between the soil water content and its structura...

Thermal Analysis of Laser Hardening for Different Moving Patterns

Transient thermal field in laser surface hardening treatment of medium carbon steel was analyzed by employing both three-dimensional analytical model and finite element model. In finite element model the laser beam was considered as a moving plane heat flux to establish the temperature rise distribution in the work-piece, while in analytical model laser beam was considered as an internal heat s...

Modular approach for an ASIC integration of electrical drive controls

VLSI circuits design allows today to consider new modes of implementation for electrical controls. However, design techniques require an adaptation effort that few designers, too accustomed to the software approach, provide. The authors of this article propose to develop a methodology to guide the electrical designers towards optimal performances of control algorithms implementation. Thus, they...
