Abstract: This paper considers the problem of scheduling N jobs on M unrelated parallel machines with sequence-dependent setup times. To better comply with industrial situations, jobs have varying due dates and ready times ...

Abstract: The present study deals with the buckling analysis of the laminated composite truncated conical sandwich shells with flexible core subjected to combined axial compressive load and external pressure. Higher order ...

Abstract: The main aim of the vibration energy harvesters is to locally power autonomous devices such as wireless sensors. Generally, power levels are low and the environmental benefit of the technology is to replace ...

In this paper, the hydrogen embrittlement of the high strength Cr-Si spring steel with after Zn-12%Ni electroplating, have been evaluated. Slow strain rate test with 3.34 × 10-6 sec-1 strain rate was performed, and the ...

In this paper, a thermoelasticity solution for steady state response of thick cylinders which are subjected to pressure and external heat flux in inner surface is presented. Displacement field obeys the kinematics of the ...

Abstract: In this paper, nonlocal Euler–Bernoulli beam theory is employed for transverse vibration analysis of an initially pre-stressed size-dependent rotating nanotube. The nonlocal Eringen theory takes into account the ...

Abstract: This paper presents dynamic modelling and control of a linear prismatic series of elastic actuator. The capability of generating large torques is why this actuator is increasingly used in human-assistive robotic ...
