  • Incremental Forming of Polymers at Room Temperature

    Creator:
    Davar Panah, Mohammad Ali
    Abstract:
    Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a forming process in which a fully clamped sheet is formed by a hemispherical ended tool that moves along a predefined 3D toolpath. The sheet is formed in a series of local deformations to reach its desired shape. Double Sided Incremental Forming (DSIF) includes...

  • A Comprehensive Methodology for Measuring the Performance of Transit Networks

    Creator:
    Rahanjam, Mehrdad
    Abstract:
    The performance of transit networks must be measured on a regular basis to understand how well these complex systems fulfill their intended purpose and to identify potential opportunities for improvement. Measuring transit network performance is only achievable by defining a specific set of transit network performance indicators (TNPIs). Different schemes...

  • Modeling and optimization of radio frequency identification networks for inventory management

    Creator:
    Suriya, Atipong
    Abstract:
    Stock loss and out-of-stocks are outcomes of poorly designed inventory management systems and can lead to significant revenue losses. Inventory management systems (IMS) based on radio frequency identification (RFID) have the potential to minimize these losses if they are properly designed and deployed. However, the placement of RFID readers to...

  • A Quantitative Analysis of Simultaneous Supply and Demand Disruptions on a Multi-Echelon Supply Chain

    Creator:
    Kost, Austin R.
    Abstract:
    Modern supply chains have grown to be far more complex than their predecessors, as global trade and accessibility have opened avenues of trade that were previously impossible. As such, the inherent risk of internal and/or external disruptions impacting the performance of a supply chain has also grown due to the...
