Development of a hybrid genetic algorithm based decision support system for vehicle routing and scheduling in supply chain logistics managment
No full textVehicle Routing and Scheduling (VRS) constitute an important part of logistics management. Given the fact that the worldwide cost on physical distribution is evermore increasing, the global competition and the complex nature of logistics problems, one area, which determines the efficiency of all others, is the VRS activities. The application of Decision Support Systems (DSS) to assist logistics management with an efficient VRS could be of great benefit. Although the benefits of DSS in VRS are well documented, however in practice many organisations perform these activities manually using combination of skills, intuition and expertise.
A comprehensive review of literature revealed several drawbacks in the existing methods for addressing VRS. The traditional optimisation approaches have very limited applications and these require high computation time. Also, heuristic approaches are capable only to specific variation, a slight difference in the structure of the problem make the algorithm inefficient. Furthermore, metaheuristics methods require higher computation time and they are context dependent. Also, further investigations on the VRS problem formulations suggest that heuristic approaches usually address a single objective of distance minimisation. However in the real world there may be a number of conflicting objectives. In general, there is a lack of considerations for route selections, resource utilisation, unhlfilled demands, underused capacities, reliability of deliveries, fleet size, human fitness and operational cost. Also, these approaches fail to realise non-linearity within objectives and constraints defined for VRS problems. Furthermore, there are no clear distinctions between hard and soft constraints considered in these methods. Finally, the existing approaches fail to capture stochastic and dynamic nature of the logistics processes.
In order to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, this study designed and developed a hybrid DSS to assist logistics managers with VRS tasks. The capabilities of the developed DSS have then been applied to a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) distribution company. The architecture of this DSS is composed of Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimisation tool and a simulation model. The GA module aims to provide a pool of near optimum transportation schedules. The simulation module is used to further evaluate the generated schedules. The feed back from the simulation module is used to update the GA for reoptimisation. Some unique features of this DSS are such as: development of a multi modal genetic algorithm to address VRS problems; considering supply chain performance measures as part of VRS problem formulation; allowing consideration of different objectives, soft or hard constraints concerning the supply chain, considering linearlnonlinear relationships within objectives and constraints defined and finally, considering stochastic and dynamic behaviours of the supply chain system.
The GA and simulation tool integration provides unique benefits that have not been in the literature such as consideration of practical requirements, uncertainties, dynamic and stochastic behaviours, considering several criteria and producing different alternative solutions. Also, this integration allows the GA model to filter out solutions that are less competitive and therefore reducing the simulation time evaluation, which is computationally expensive. Furthermore, the human interaction with the system assists in generating higher quality of solutions. Finally, the clear benefit of this DSS is the fact that it greatly influences the applicability of the GA generated schedules and provides better confidence in implementation of these solution

Experimental and finite element study of the hydroforming bi-layered tubular components
No full textThe application of finite element method (FEM) in the area of metal forming and material processing has been increasing rapidly during the recent years. The present study has been carried out on one of the unconventional metal forming processes called hydroforming of a multi-layered tube. The study involved both experimental and simulation work using FEA. Multi-layered tubes have extensive advantages in both domestic and industrial uses. The specimen tube consists of two different layers of materials. The outer tube material is brass and the inner tube material is copper. This project is mainly dedicated to the modelling, simulation and advanced study of one of the unconventional metal forming processes called hydroforming in which extremely high fluid pressure is used to deform the metal into desired shape. Various types of complex industrial products can be made by hydroforming. This process is suitable to produce seamless, lightweight, near net shaped industrial components. There are some complex products, which are easier to produce by hydroforming than by conventional technique.
In this research work the main forming load is hydrostatic pressure applied to the internal surface of the tube, together with an in-plane compressive load applied simultaneously. The blank is placed in a pre-shaped die block and due to the action of simultaneous internal pressure and axial load; it is formed into a complex desired shape. If the internal pressure is too high during the process without sufficient axial load it may cause the tube to burst, on the other hand too large axial load without applying sufficient internal pressure may cause wrinkling of the tube. For these reasons, a number of simulations of the hydroforming process have been carried out for different axial load and internal pressure combinations and optimum conditions have been established for the particular process. This simulated hydroforming of composite material tube and the formed product has been analysed on the basis of forming conditions and the simulated forming conditions have been verified by experiment. The simulations of hydroforming process for X or T branch have been carried by using the commercial finite element package ANSYS
Mathematics, Logic, and their Philosophies:Essays in Honour of Mohammad Ardeshir
No full textThis volume is a collection of essays in honour of Professor Mohammad Ardeshir. It examines topics which, in one way or another, are connected to the various aspects of his multidisciplinary research interests. Based on this criterion, the book is divided into three general categories. The first category includes papers on non-classical logics, including intuitionistic logic, constructive logic, basic logic, and substructural logic. The second category is made up of papers discussing issues in the contemporary philosophy of mathematics and logic. The third category contains papers on Avicenna’s logic and philosophy.Mohammad Ardeshir is a full professor of mathematical logic at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, where he has taught generations of students for around a quarter century. Mohammad Ardeshir is known in the first place for his prominent works in basic logic and constructive mathematics. His areas of interest are however much broader and include topics in intuitionistic philosophy of mathematics and Arabic philosophy of logic and mathematics. In addition to numerous research articles in leading international journals, Ardeshir is the author of a highly praised Persian textbook in mathematical logic. Partly through his writings and translations, the school of mathematical intuitionism was introduced to the Iranian academic community
