the efficiency measurement is a subject of great interest. the majority of studies on dea models have been carried out using radial or non-radial approaches regarding the application of dea for the efficiency measurement. this paper, based on the directional distance function, proposes a new generalized hybrid measure of efficiency under generalized returns to scale with the existence of both r...

the problem of utilizing undesirable (bad) outputs in dea models often need replacing the assumption of free disposability of outputs by weak disposability of outputs. the kuosmanen technology is the only correct representation of the fully convex technology exhibiting weak disposability of bad and good outputs. also, there are some specific features of non-radial data envelopment analysis (dea...

in this paper, the radial breathing mode (rbm) frequencies of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) are  obtained based on the multiple-elastic thin shell model. for this purpose, mwcnt is considered as a multiple concentric elastic thin cylindrical shells, which are coupled through van der waals (vdw) forces between two adjacent tubes. lennard-jones potential is used to calculate the vdw forc...

this research work is devoted to the footprint analysis of a steel-belted radial tyre (185/65r14) under vertical static load using finite element method. two models have been developed in which in the first model the tread patterns were replaced by simple ribs while the second model was consisted of details of the tread blocks. linear elastic and hyper elastic (arruda-boyce) material models wer...

  For efficiency evaluation of some of the Decision Making Units that have uncertain information, Rough Data Envelopment Analysis technique is used, which is derived from rough set theorem and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In some situations rough data alter nonradially. To this end, this paper proposes additive rough–DEA model and illustrates the proposed model by a numerical example.

Abstract Objective: Many organizations use the ABC classification method to control their large amount of inventories. The most common way to classify inventories is the ABC method. In traditional ABC classification, items are only classified according to one criteria. But there are other criteria that need to be considered in the inventory classification. The purpose of this study is to prese...

There are situations that Decision Making Units (DMU’s) have uncertain information and their inputs and outputs cannot alter redially. To this end, this paper combines the rough set theorem (RST) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and proposes a non-redial Rough-DEA (RDEA) model so called additive rough-DEA model and illustrates the proposed model by a numerical example.  

In the present study, five modeling approaches of RA, MLP, MNN, GFF, and CANFIS were applied so as to estimate the radial overcut values in electrochemical drilling process. For these models, four input variables, namely electrolyte concentration, voltage, initial machining gap, and tool feed rate, were selected. The developed models were evaluated in terms of their prediction capability with m...
