Stability Analysis of Imperfect shells

General Circular cylindrical shells are very stiff and light structural elements If a shell is loaded in such a way that the membrane energy can be converted in bending energy, it may fail dramatically. Very large… Continue reading

Optimization of Production Lines using Simulation and Genetic Algorithms

Introduction In this project a genetic algorithm has been implemented from scratch, for the optimization of the scheduling production line of a textile industry. Production scheduling aims to maximize the efficiency of the… Continue reading
