Repairable standby system’s study and analysis is an important topic in reliability. Analytical techniques become very complicated and unrealistic especially for modern complex systems. There have been attempts in the literature to evolve more realistic techniques using simulation approach for reliability analysis of systems. This paper proposes a hybrid approach called as Markov system ...

presence of risks and uncertainties inherent in project development and implementation playssignificant role in poor project performance. thus, there is a considerable need to have an effective riskanalysis approach in order to assess the impact of different risks on the project objectives. a powerful riskanalysis approach may consider dynamic nature of risks throughout the life cycle of the pr...

Various researchers and policy analysts have made empirical studies of innovation systems in order to understand their current structure and trace their dynamics. However, policy makers often experience difficulties in extracting practical guidelines from studies of this kind. In this paper, we operationalize our previous work on a functional approach to analyzing innovation system dynamics int...

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...

system dynamics is a strategic approach for modeling complex systems and analyzing their behavior. dynamic behavior in entrepreneurial system can be modeled using system dynamics approach and dynamic hypotheses about the system`s behavior can be proposed and tested using simulation and computer aided tools. however, as the review of literature shows, studies which link system dynamics modeling ...

background: nowadays the eutrophication of water bodies is enhanced due to discharge of effluents and runoffs. therefore, there is a demand for the management of natural and artificial lakes to prevent or postpone this problem. lakes eutrophication is a complex process. therefore computerized models are very important tools to describe this process. although there are several models for this, b...

A Space Free-Flying Robot (SFFR) includes an actuated base equipped with one or more manipulators to perform on-orbit missions. Distinct from fixed-based manipulators, the spacecraft (base) of a SFFR responds to dynamic reaction forces due to manipulator motions. In order to control such a system, it is essential to consider the dynamic coupling between the manipulators and the base. Explicit d...
