Abstract: A simple DTT is a problem to design a hybrid trucking route for single and double trailers as a new version of the routing problem using sub-tours for servicing truck customers. The local optimization approach, 2-opt, is ...

Abstract: This paper presents an interesting nanosecond (ns) laserinduced plasma deburring (LPD) effect (from microchannel sidewalls) discovered by the authors, which has been rarely reported before in the literature. Fast imagining ...

Abstract: Repetitive projects account for a large proportion of construction projects. Different from standard project scheduling problems, scheduling such projects requires considering both location and congestion, which is referred ...

Abstract: In this paper a twostage physicsbased model has been applied to study the evolution of plasma produced by highintensity nanosecond laser ablation in vacuum under external magnetic field. In the early stage (Stage I), the ...

Abstract: A magnetic fieldassisted laser drilling process has been studied, where nanosecond laser ablation is performed under an external magnetic field. The study shows that the magnetic fieldassisted laser drilling process produces ...
