Abstract: A new theory is developed to model the hysteresis relation between polarization and electric field of piezoceramics. An explicit formulation governing the hysteresis is obtained by using saturation ...

Abstract: In this study, a factorial dual-interval programming (FDIP) approach is proposed through integrating factorial analysis and dual-interval linear programming into a general framework. The developed FDIP approach can handle ...

Abstract: Bioleaching of heavy metals from sewage sludge has been shown to be a promising technique for sludge decontamination in such a complex matrix. The effect of two types of substrates (

Abstract: In this study, a two-stage chance-constrained fractional programming (TCFP) method is developed for dealing with water quality management problems associated with stochastic inputs. Two-stage chance-constrained fractional ...

Abstract: Three different time scales—the gas turbulence integral time scale, the particle relaxation time, and the eddy interaction time—are used for closing the dissipation term in the transport equation ...

Abstract: The contents of the paper cover the determination of conditions: (i) of nonundercutting by axial and axial-radial generation of internal gears by shapers, and (ii) avoidance of interference by ...
