Cooperative object manipulation control of rigid-flexible multi-body systems in space is studied in this paper. During such tasks, flexible members like solar panels may get vibrated that in turn may lead to some oscillatory disturbing forces on other subsystems, and consequently produces error in the motion of the end-effectors of the cooperative manipulating arms. Therefore, to design and dev...

The purpose of this study is to understand the reaction of real estate prices to changes in different factors. In order to achieve this, a previously developed system dynamics model of real estate prices in Istanbul has been used (Özbaş and Özgün, 2005). The model has been developed and scenario analysis is carried out to some extent. However, a structured experimental analysis of the model und...

Using a system dynamics approach, an integrated water resources system model is developed for scenario analysis of the Saskatchewan portion of the transboundary Saskatchewan River Basin in western Canada. The water resources component is constructed by emulating an existing Water Resources Management Model. Enhancements include an irrigation sub-model to estimate dynamic irrigation demand, incl...

Shanghai, as an international metropolis, has ever-growing population and ongoing economic development, so the pressure on natural resources environment is continually increased. How to ease tension among economy, environment? The sustainable green development of Shanghai been focus public government. Urban carrying capacity involves complex interactions population, economy environment. Underst...

In this paper, the dynamics of multicellular chopper are considered. The model is described by a continuous time three--dimensional autonomous system. Some basic dynamical properties such as Poincar'e mapping, power spectrum and chaotic behaviors are studied. Analysis results show that this system has complex dynamics with some interesting characteristics.

It is undeniable that SMEs face many management-related problems. These problems are often deeply rooted in the strategic decision making by managers. One of these decisions is associated with the production section. Many of these companies provide production infrastructure at high costs; however, they are unsuccessful in acquiring their market share. In these circumstances, providing a solutio...
