In recent years, global warming and environmental problems have become more serious due to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.Harvesting solar energy for production and logistic activities in supply chains, including factories and distribution centers, has been promoted as an effective means to reduce GHG emissions.However, it is difficult to balance t
With increasing competition in the wholesale Electricity markets and advances in behavioral economics in recent years, the multi-agent modeling approach has been applied widely to simulate the outcome of the markets.The electricity market consists of power generating agents that compete over production in daily auction conducted by an independent s
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has become popular for rapid prototyping and it is presently widely used in different branches of industry because of its advantages such as freedom of design, mass customization, waste minimization and the ability to manufacture complex shape.AM is the process of making 3D object from computer model data by depositing o
The low-aspect-ratio cylindrical structures represented by oil tanks is a kind of wind sensitive structure, which is prone to buckling under wind-loads.A wind tunnel test was conducted to investigate the properties of wind-loads acting on smooth cylinders with an aspect ratio AR = 0.323 and 0.875, respectively.Some parameters, such as Reynolds numb
Reaching agreement by consensus Wall Clocks is fundamental to the operation of distributed systems, such as sensor networks, social networks or multi-robot networks.In real systems, the resource limitations available to individual agents and communication delays typically result Cleavers in asynchronous control models of discreet time for consensus
