in this work, hydrochloric acid is used to remove iron impurities in the bauxite ore contained in the diasporite mineral located in the sari region. the bauxite ore was calcined at different temperatures and times, and then dissolved in a hydrochloric acid solution. after determining the optimum calcination conditions in 1 h at 900 °c, the response surface methodology (rsm) with four factors in...

A multi-objective optimum design method of the balanced Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter is proposed. The frequency response characteristics of the balanced SAW filters are governed primarily by their geometrical structures. Besides, specifications for a balanced SAW filter is given by using several criteria. Therefore, in order to realize desirable frequency response characteristics, the str...

to use services transparently in a distributed environment, the utility grids develop a cyber-infrastructure. the parameters of the quality of service such as the allocation-cost and makespan have to be dealt with in order to schedule workflow application tasks in the utility grids. optimization of both target parameters above is a challenge in a distributed environment and may conflict one ano...

service level agreement, web performance tuning, software performance modeling, response time, queueing, optimization We present a nonlinear integer optimization model for determining the number of machines at each tier in a multi-tier server network. We utilize a result from an open queueing network model on the average response time; the optimization model is to minimize a weighted sum of tot...

Risks are natural and inherent characteristics of major projects. Risks are usually considered independently in analysis of risk responses. However, most risks are dependent on each other and dependent risks are rare in the real world. This paper proposes a model for proper risk response selection from the responses portfolio with the purpose of optimization of defined criteria for projects. Th...

This paper presents a linkage factors synthesis and multi-level optimization technique for bi-stable compliant mechanism. The linkage synthesis problem is modeled as multiple level factors and responses optimization problem with constraints. The bi-stable compliant mechanism is modeled as a crank slider mechanism using pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM). The model exerts the large deflection of fle...

Almost every real world problem involves simultaneous optimization of several incommensurable and often competing objectives which constitutes a multi-objective optimization problem. In multi-objective optimization problems the optimal solution is not unique as in single-objective optimization problems. This paper is concerned with large-scale structural optimization of skeletal structures such...

Most previous studies have only addressed a single-response problem. However, more than one correlated response frequently occurs in a manufacturing product. The multi-response problem has received limited attention. In the second part of this project, an approach based on the clustering analysis (CA) is studied to the optimization of the multi-response problem. In CA, the observations can be c...

Disasters can cause many casualties and considerable destruction mainly because of ineffective preventive measures, incomplete preparedness, and weak relief logistics systems. After catastrophic events happen, quick and effective response is of great importance, so as to having an efficient logistic plan for distributing needed relief commodities efficiently and fairly among affected people. In...
