Scheduling flow shop manufacturing systems considering agility issues (2014)
Journal Article

Agile manufacturing is concerned with responding quickly to
customer needs and market changes while still controlling costs and quality. Although several studies have been conducted in agile manufacturing, the scheduling of agile systems still needs... Read More about Scheduling flow shop manufacturing systems considering agility issues.

Production lot sizing and scheduling with non-triangular sequence-dependent setup times (2014)
Journal Article

This paper considers a production lot sizing and scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times that are not triangular. Consider, for example, a product that contaminates some other product unless either a decontamination occurs as part of a...

Electrochemical behavior of stainless steel anodes in membraneless microbial fuel cells (2014)
Journal Article

AISI 304 stainless steel was studied as cost-effective tough anodes in membraneless single chamber microbial fuel cells (SCMFCs) fed with wastewater and sodium acetate, and compared with traditional carbon cloth (CC) anodes in terms of power generati...

Cobalt porphyrin-based material as methanol tolerant cathode in single chamber microbial fuel cells (SCMFCs) (2014)
Journal Article

This study focused on the development of novel cathode material based on the pyrolysis of [meso-tetrakis(2-thienyl)porphyrinato]Co(II) (CoTTP) for use in single chamber microbial fuel cells (SCMFCs) to treat wastewater containing methanol. The cathod... Read More about Cobalt porphyrin-based material as methanol tolerant cathode in single chamber microbial fuel cells (SCMFCs).

Seeing by touch: Evaluation of a soft biologically-inspired artificial fingertip in real-time active touch (2014)
Journal Article

Effective tactile sensing for artificial platforms remains an open issue in robotics. This study investigates the performance of a soft biologically-inspired artificial fingertip in active exploration tasks. The fingertip sensor replicates the mechan...

Acoustic emission-based study to characterize the initiation of delamination in composite materials (2014)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2014. Among the failure modes of composite materials, delamination is the most striking one. It may result in the reduction of stiffness and long-term performance of composite materials. The initiation stage is very crucial in delamin...

Braess’ paradox in asymmetrical traffic networks (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Braess’ paradox illustrates situations when adding a new link to a transport network might lead to an equilibrium state in which travel times of users will increase. Braess’ paradox has been studied mainly in the context of the classical problem intr... Read More about Braess’ paradox in asymmetrical traffic networks.

Thixoforging of wrought aluminum thin plates with microchannels (2014)
Journal Article

A direct die-filling thixoforging method is designed to fabricate aluminum thin plates with a pattern of microchannels in a single forming operation. Extruded AA2024 and AA7075 wrought aluminum billets are used. A recrystallization and partial remelt... Read More about Thixoforging of wrought aluminum thin plates with microchannels.

New Chattering Attenuation Sliding Mode Control of a Flexible Spacecraft (2014)
Journal Article

An improved sliding mode control (SMC) strategy for the attitude control problem of a nonlinear spacecraft with an elastic appendage is investigated. Since conventional sliding mode controllers include a discontinuous function, a significant problem... Read More about New Chattering Attenuation Sliding Mode Control of a Flexible Spacecraft.
