Towards supporting multiple virtual private computing environments on computational Grids
Grid computing now becomes a practical computing paradigm and solution for distributed systems and applications. Currently increasing resources are involved in Grid environments and a large number of applications are running on computational Grids. ...
RETRACTED: Use of a computer program in the solidification of molten steel using a front-tracking method
This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief and Author. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). Reason: This article contains substantial material from a paper that ...
Non-linear MSD crack growth by DBEM for a riveted aeronautic reinforcement
A special specimen is created cutting a rectangular notched area from the surrounding of the upper left corner of a wide body aircraft door. Then a constant amplitude fatigue traction load is applied by a special servo-hydraulic machine, in order to ...
Genetic algorithms optimization for normalized normal constraint method under Pareto construction
This paper presents the resolution of multiobjective optimization problems as a tool in engineering design. In the literature, the solutions of this problems are based on the Pareto frontier construction. Therefore, substantial efforts have been made in ...
A simulated annealing method for solving a new mathematical model of a multi-criteria cell formation problem with capital constraints
One of the most important stages in the establishment of a cellular manufacturing system is the formation of manufacturing cells in order to find out which machines dedicated to each cell and part families corresponding to these machines. In this paper, ...
Spreadsheet-based interactive design and analysis of mechanisms using Excel and Ch
A spreadsheet-based mechanism analysis and animation system is presented in this article. The system is developed in Excel using Ch, an embeddable C/C++ interpreter, and Ch Mechanism Toolkit. It allows users to develop and solve complicated planar ...
Determining turbulent flow friction coefficient using adaptive neuro-fuzzy computing technique
In the analysis of water distribution networks, the main required design parameters are the lengths, diameters, and friction coefficients of rough-pipes, as well as nodal demands and water levels in the reservoirs. Although some of these parameters such ...
A collection of computational techniques for solving singular boundary-value problems
The objective of this paper is a wide survey and classification of various computational techniques which are used for solving singular boundary-value problems. Here, we have considered various research papers within last 10 years to get a better the ...
A boundary value approach for a class of linear singularly perturbed boundary value problems
A new boundary value technique, which is simple to use and easy to implement, is presented for a class of linear singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems with a boundary layer at one end (left or right) point of the underlying interval. As ...
Reliability-based optimization of design variance to identify critical tolerances
Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is a topic of interest for research in both academia and industry. RBDO typically involves adjusting the mean values of the design variables while fixing the spread parameters, often measured as variance, in ...
