The paper aims to identify both the location and severity of damage in complex framed buildings using limited noisy vibration measurements. The study aims to directly adopt incomplete measured mode shapes in structural damage identification and effectively reduce the influence of measurement errors on predictions of structural damage.
In green logistics operation, all logistics processes form a bidirectional closed-loop topology. In order to model and optimize such a kind of structure, a standardized closed-loop logistics operation reference model is built which aims to provide supply chain managers with general analysis. Based on the reference model, potential risks of closed-loop logistics chain can be analyzed including n…
The purpose of this paper is to develop a risk assessment method for production processes of large-size steel ship hulls
Purpose – To minimise business risk of incurring increased marketability and acquisition costs due to volatile demand exacerbated by the bullwhip phenomenon. Design/methodology/approach – Based on the vision of the seamless supply chain and the active support of the decision support system exploiting the automatic pipeline inventory and order based production control system (APIOBPCS) a…
Human error with regards to ship handling is the main cause of maritime accidents. The error happens because of the psychological problem of distraction. Despite the use of modern equipment, standard working procedures and competent crews, still accidents occur because of the physical and psychosocial stresses during the working period on board the ship. This creates undesirable results such as…
The dredged sediments of polluted seaports now raise complex management problems since it is no longer possible to discharge them into the sea. This results in the need to manage them on land, raising other types of technical, economic and environmental problems. Regarding the technical and economic dimensions, traditional waste treatment methods have proved to be poorly adapted, due to very…
The purpose of this paper is to develop a framework for route selection in multimodal transportation which can reduce cost, lead time, risk and CO2 emission in multimodal transportation systems.
This research aims to develop a supplier risk assessment methodology for measuring, tracking, and analyzing supplier and part specific risk over time for an automotive manufacturer.
