Hybrid heuristics for planning lot setups and sizes (2003)
Journal Article
Clark, A. (2003). Hybrid heuristics for planning lot setups and sizes. Computers and Industrial Engineering, 45(4), 545-562. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0360-8352%2803%2900073-1

The planning of a canning line at a drinks manufacturer is discussed and formulated as a mathematical programming model. Several alternative heuristic solution methods are developed, tested and compared on real data, illustrating the trade-offs betwe...

Optimization approximations for capacity constrained material requirements planning (2003)
Journal Article
Clark, A. R. (2003). Optimization approximations for capacity constrained material requirements planning. International Journal of Production Economics, 84(2), 115-131. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0925-5273%2802%2900400-0

This paper develops three mixed integer programming (MIP) models and solution methods to assist in identifying a capacity feasible master production schedule (MPS) in material requirements planning (MRP) systems. The initial exact model takes into ac... Read More about Optimization approximations for capacity constrained material requirements planning.

On the use of an enhanced transverse shear strain shell element for problems involving large rotations (2003)
Journal Article
Grácio, J. J., César de Sá, J. M., Cardoso, R. P., Natal Jorge, R. M., & Valente, R. (2003). On the use of an enhanced transverse shear strain shell element for problems involving large rotations. Computational Mechanics, 30(4), 286-296. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00466-002-0388-x

This paper presents the extension of a previously developed formulation for shell elements in order to account for non-linear geometric effects, particularly in the presence of large rotations. To eliminate transverse shear locking, the developed she... Read More about On the use of an enhanced transverse shear strain shell element for problems involving large rotations.

Structure and Energetics of a Turbulent Trailing Edge Flow (2003)
Journal Article
Thomas, T. G., Yao, Y., & Sandham, N. D. (2003). Structure and Energetics of a Turbulent Trailing Edge Flow. Computers and Mathematics with Applications, 46(4), 671-680. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0898-1221%2803%2990024-1

Results from a direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent flow over a rectangular trailing edge geometry are used to study energy transfers in detail. The numerical procedure employs a separate boundary layer simulation which is used to generate... Read More about Structure and Energetics of a Turbulent Trailing Edge Flow.

Large-eddy simulation of transonic turbulent flow over a bump (2003)
Journal Article
Sandham, N. D., Yao, Y., & Lawal, A. A. (2003). Large-eddy simulation of transonic turbulent flow over a bump. International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow, 24(4), 584-595. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0142-727X%2803%2900052-3

Transonic turbulent boundary-layer flow over a circular-arc bump has been computed by high-resolution large-eddy simulation of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The inflow turbulence was prescribed using a new technique, in which known dynami... Read More about Large-eddy simulation of transonic turbulent flow over a bump.
