One point quadrature shell element with through-thickness stretch (2005)
Journal Article
A general purpose one point quadrature shell element accounting for through-thickness deformation is developed. In the shell, a complete 3-D constitutive law is introduced, leading to a 7-parameter theory which explicitly accounts for thickness chang...

A new one-point quadrature enhanced assumed strain (EAS) solid-shell element with multiple integration points along thickness: Part I - Geometrically linear applications (2005)
Journal Article
Accuracy and efficiency are the main features expected in finite element method. In the field of low-order formulations, the treatment of locking phenomena is crucial to prevent poor results. For three-dimensional analysis, the development of efficie...

Rolling horizon heuristics for production planning and set-up scheduling with backlogs and error-prone demand forecasts (2005)
Journal Article
Three families of models and fast heuristic methods are developed for identifying a production plan and immediate set-up schedule for a manufacturing line with changeover times. The initial model is exact, but is optimally solvable only for very shor...

EcoBot-II: An artificial agent with a natural metabolism (2005)
Journal Article
In this paper we report the development of the robot EcoBot-II, which exhibits a primitive form of artificial symbiosis. Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) were used as the onboard energy supply, which consisted of bacterial cultures from sewage sludge and...

One point quadrature shell elements for sheet metal forming analysis (2005)
Journal Article
Numerical simulation of sheet metal forming processes is overviewed in this work. Accurate and efficient elements, material modelling and contact procedures are three major considerations for a reliable numerical analysis of plastic forming processes...

Application of Multi-Agent Technology to Fault Diagnosis of Power Distribution Systems (2005)
Journal Article
When a fault occurs in a power system, the protective relays detect the fault and trip appropriate circuit breakers, which isolate the affected equipment from the rest of the power system. Fault diagnosis of power systems is the process of identifyin... Read More about Application of Multi-Agent Technology to Fault Diagnosis of Power Distribution Systems.
