Sequence dependent set-up times scheduling problems (SDSTs), availability constraint and transportation times are interesting and important issues in production management, which are often addressed separately. In this paper, the SDSTs job shop scheduling problem with position-based learning effects, job-dependent transportation times and multiple preventive maintenance activities is studied. ...

Considering the strong non-linear time-varying behavior of dam deformation, a novel prediction model, called Levy flight-based grey wolf optimizer optimized support vector regression (LGWO-SVR), is proposed to forecast displacements hydropower dams. In used create whereas algorithm employed search penalty and kernel parameters for SVR. this work, multiple-arch was selected as case study. To val...

A Model-based predictive current control (MBPCC) has recently become a powerful advanced technology in industrial drives. However, MBPCC relies on the knowledge of system model and parameters, being, therefore, very sensitive to parameters errors. In case synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM), where vary due its ferromagnetic structure nonlinear magnetic properties, performance would suffer sign...
