in this paper the optimal design of a dissipator made of aluminium and steel and principallysubjected to shear forces and the preliminary results of the characterization tests are described.the device has been designed on the basis of an optimization procedure with the objective tomaximize the energy dissipated in the device. the response of a 3d frame equipped with thedevice and subjected to 7...

dynamic cellular manufacturing systems,   mixed-integer non-linear programming,   production planning, manufacturing attributes   this paper presents a novel mixed-integer non-linear programming model for the design of a dynamic cellular manufacturing system (dcms) based on production planning (pp) decisions and several manufacturing attributes. such an integrated dcms model with an extensive c...

this study concerns the scope to improve water flooding in heterogeneous reservoirs. we used an existing, in-house developed, optimization program consisting of a reservoir simulator in combination with an adjoint-based optimal control algorithm. in particular we aimed to examine the scope for optimization in a two-dimensional horizontal reservoir containing a single high permeable streak, as a...

nowadays, as a result of increased terrorist and bomb attacks throughout the globe in the vicinity of strategic buildings, designing these structures against impact loads, particularly the blast-related ones, has been taken into more consideration. the current procedure for designing the structure against an explosion is a design against the local failure of the current elements in the first st...

The ability to recognize and to understand processes allows a robot operating in a dynamic environment to rationally respond to dynamic changes. In this paper we demonstrate how a mobile robot can recognize storage processes in a warehouse environment, solely using perception data and an abstract specification of the processes. We specify processes symbolically in linear temporal logic (LTL) an...

the structural slenderness ration (height/ with) is one of the title that can be discussed in quake design of building. but unfortunately, in  iranian code isn’t mention this mater.in this article, bending and bracying structures system are chosen with slenderness ratio 2 upto 6. (11, 17, 23, 29, 35 stage).all of structure are analysed and designed in linear method, then analysed in unlinear me...
