Mechanical vibrations have a significant impact on ride comfort; the driver is constantly distracted as result. Volumetric engine inertial unbalances and road profile irregularities create mechanical vibrations. The purpose of this study to employ optimization algorithms identify structural elements that contribute vibration propagation provide optimal solutions for reducing induced by unbalanc...

In this paper, we propose a set of two-stage robust optimization models to design reliable p-median facility location networks subject to disruptions. A customized column-and-constraint generation approach is implemented and shown to be more effective than Benders cutting plane method. Numerical experiments are performed on real data and management insights on system design are presented. Our s...

In this paper, the optimizations problems to seek robust solutions under uncertainty are considered. The light robust approach is one of the strong and new methods to achieve robust solutions under conditions of uncertainty. In this paper, we tried to improve the quality of the solutions obtained from the Light Robust method by introducing a revised approach. Considering the problem concerned, ...

Cell formation (CF) problem is one of the most important decision problems in designing a cellular manufacturing system includes grouping machines into machine cells and parts into part families. Several factors should be considered in a cell formation problem. In this work, robust optimization of a mathematical model of a dynamic cell formation problem integrating CF, production planning and w...
