Performance Measurement of Decision Making Units with Network Structure in the Presence of Undesirable Output
In the performance evaluation process, using the classic data envelopment analysis (DEA) models, decision making units (DMUs) are considered as black boxes. While in many cases and different applications such as investment funds, banks, insurance companies, etc., DMUs have a network structure. In addition, in many network structures, some of the indicators used to calculate the efficiency...

متن کاملInvestigation of Double-layer Grid Space Structurer Resistance to Progressive Collapse
Considering the vulnerability of double-layer grid space structures to progressive collapse phenomenon, it is necessary to pay special attention to this phenomenon in the design process. Alternate path method is one of the most appropriate and accepted methods for progressive collapse resistant design of structures. Alternate Path Method permits local failure to occur but provides alternate pat...
