A Production Planning Model for a Steel Plate Fabrication Plant with Flexible Customization and Manufacturing

With increased market competition and advances in modern manufacturing technologies, requirements on customer orders and manufacturing conditions have become more diversified. This paper addresses a dynamic production planning problem for a steel plate fabrication plant with practical flexibility of both customers and manufacturing, such as steel slab-plate matching rules, plate substitution optio

A Nonlinear Observer for the Inverted Pendulum

This paper deals with the design of a nonlinear observer for the inverted pendulum. The observer uses the standard structure of the linear observer with the linear model replaced by a nonlinear model. Nominal observer gains are determined from a linearised model. This model is also used to find a compromise between robustness and performance. The stability of the observer is then discussed and con

Risk and Vulnerability Management of Electrical Distribution Grids

Risk and vulnerability management can serve a very important purpose as a decision support tool for investments and planning of electrical distribution systems. In 2006 amendments to the Swedish Electricity Act came into force, stating that every distribution system operator has to, on a yearly basis, perform a risk and vulnerability analysis regarding security of supply to customers. Furthermore,

Investigations on Reducing Burr Formation in Metal Cutting

Metal cutting is a very common operation in the manufacturing industry. Drilling and other hole-making operations perhaps account for 50% of all metal cutting, according to some investigations. All metal cutting including drilling always produces burrs, as a by-product. Actually burrs are nothing but uncut metal at the beginning and at the end of the operations. Yet, despite burr's omnipresence in
