Abstract: The optimum design of an one-dimensional cooling fin is considered by including all modes of heat transfer in the problem formulation. The minimum principle of Pontryagin is applied to determine ...

Abstract: The mathematical programing techniques are applied to determine the optimum cutting parameters of machining operations. Three objectives, the cost of production per piece, the production rate, and ...

Abstract: The problem of determining the optimum machining conditions for a job requiring multiple operations has been investigated. Three objectives, namely, the minimization of the cost of production per ...

Abstract: The multicriteria optimization of function generating mechanisms is considered using game theory. Specifically the design of spherical four-revolute function generating mechanisms, with the objective ...
