  • Systems tableau : an integrated approach to systems theory

    Creator:
    Inoue, Michael Shigeru
    Abstract:
    Systems Tableau is suggested as a convenient tool for the integration of the three phases of systems theory: the synthesis of a model from the analysis of a system; the evaluation of the model; and the decision-making process for the design and control of the resulting system. From a basic...

  • Effectiveness of a fluidized bed in filtration of airborne particulate of submicron size

    Creator:
    Black, Charles Hartgraves
    Abstract:
    Submicron particulate (mean size of 0.52 microns) was filtered from air at substantially atmospheric temperature and pressure by passing air up through a bed of fluidized glass shot in a two inch column. Removal efficiency, defined as the percentage removal of particulate from the air stream, was essentially constant during...

  • A study of attitude stability of a symmetrical satellite in a circular orbit

    Creator:
    Wang, Hsien-tsan
    Abstract:
    A model for analytical study of the attitude stability of an orbiting satellite consists of a rigid body whose mass center is constrained to move at constant speed in a circular path about the center of an inverse-square force field. The body is assumed to have one axis of inertial...

  • Photomechanics of stress transfer mechanisms in composite materials

    Creator:
    Edelman, Walter E.
    Abstract:
    A study of stress transfer near the ends of the whisker in a simulated whisker reinforced composite material was conducted by using photoelastic techniques. The composite material studied was αAl₂O₃ whiskers in an aluminum matrix. The photoelastic models used consisted of a scaled-up macroscopic stiffener embedded in a three-dimensional epoxy...

  • An investigation of the influence of choice structure on decision making behavior

    Creator:
    Dervitsiotis, Kostas N.
    Abstract:
    The behavior of individuals in decision making under risk was investigated using choice structures of greater complexity than the types examined in previous studies. The experiment performed consisted of two phases. In Phase I a basic utility function for money was derived for each subject using lotteries with two equally...

  • The impact of technology on the mental content of work in industrial operations

    Creator:
    Van Gigch, John P.
    Abstract:
    Industrial operations are becoming more mechanized and automated. The increasing complexity of work affects the proportion of physical to mental effort which workers spend in the performance of their jobs. Traditional work measurement techniques which are primarily designed to measure the individual's physical load have to be complemented with other...

  • An integrated approach to the evaluation of multiattributed alternatives in facility siting studies

    Creator:
    West, Thomas Moore
    Abstract:
    Facility location studies involve the selection of a preferred course of action from an array of multiattributed alternatives. The factors affecting this selection are defined in both quantifiable and qualifiable terms. The former comprises primarily monetary or operational data, and the latter consists of nonmonetary and environmental parameters; where the...

  • Performance evaluation and design of multiple time series based forecasting systems

    Creator:
    Chen, Kuei-Lin
    Abstract:
    The study evaluates performances of three multiple time series (MTS) forecasting methods; investigates possible improvements in MTS forecasting operations, and proposes a multiple time series based forecasting system. Time series considered are finite, linear, covariance stationary, and discrete. Specific objectives for the thesis were: (a) conducting comparative studies of MTS...

  • Multiperiod multiple-item dynamic lot sizing problem when discounts are available

    Creator:
    Chang, Chia-hao
    Abstract:
    This thesis extends Wagner-Whitin's Planning Horizon Theorem to discount situations in multiperiod multiple-item dynamic lot sizing problems. Three heuristic techniques are developed using the Least Unit Cost Method, Silver-Meal Method, and Inoue-Chang Method. The three techniques are described and compared in terms of their effectiveness in dealing with the dynamic...
