The integrated facility layout problem (IFLP) focuses on the simultaneous determination of the relative locations of multiple copies of capacitated equipment or machinery in a facility, as well as the material flow between these units. In this paper, we consider the IFLP in the existence of uncertain demand for the products of the facility. Motivated by the framework for next generation facility layouts by Benjaafar et al. (2002), we extend the approaches in the literature for distributed facility layouts to the case of dynamic demand and the possibility of relayouts, and propose a heuristic solution approach to minimize the expected total material handling cost over the planning horizon. We also analyze the performance of the resulting solutions in terms of empty travel of the material handling equipment and waiting time. Our computational results reveal that when demand is dynamic and stochastic, the relationship between the level of uncertainty and relayout cost plays an important role in determining layout performance, and therefore a priori assumption of using a certain layout type may lead to detrimental results.

A branch and bound method for the line balancing problem in U-shaped assembly lines with equipment requirements Ogan, Dilek; Azizoğlu, Meral (2015-07-01) In this study we consider a U-shaped assembly line balancing problem where each task uses a specified set of equipments and each type of equipment has a specified cost. Our problem is to assign the tasks together with their equipments to the workstations so as to minimize the total equipment cost. We formulate the problem as a mixed integer linear programming model that is capable of solving small sized instances. We propose a branch and bound algorithm that uses efficient precedence relations and lower bou...
A layerwise approach to modeling piezolaminated plates Ertürk, Cevher Levent; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2005) In this thesis, optimal placement of adhesively bonded piezoelectric patches on laminated plates and the determination of geometry of the bonding area to maximize actuation effect are studied. A new finite element model, in which each layer is considered to be a separate plate, is developed. The adhesive layer is modeled as a distributed spring system. In this way, relative transverse normal and shear motion of the layers are allowed. Effect of delamination on the adhesive layer stresses is also studied and...
A measurement framework for component oriented software systems Salman, Nael; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2006) A measurement framework is presented for component oriented (CO) software systems. Fundamental concepts in component orientation are defined. The factors that influence CO systems’ structural complexity are identified. Metrics quantifying and characterizing these factors are defined. A set of properties that a CO complexity metric must satisfy are defined. Metrics are evaluated first using the set of properties defined in this thesis and also using the set of properties defined by Tian and Zelkowitz in [84]...
A Novel Control Strategy for Three-Phase UPS Based on B-Spline Network Niroomand, Mehdi; Farhadi, Yahya; Moallem, Payman (2011-09-10) This paper is concerned with the control of three-phase Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems based on a B-spline Network (BSN). A UPS must be able to maintain regulated output voltage in the face of all line/load disturbances. To achieve this, the control system of a UPS must have a fast transient response and a low steady-state error. Fast controllers cannot always maintain the required steady-state accuracy. Therefore, in this paper, a hybrid control solution is proposed. In the proposed method, a f...
A new structural modification method with additional degrees of freedom for dynamic analysis of large systems Şayin, Burcu; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2013-02-14) Structural modification techniques are widely used to predict the dynamic characteristics of modified systems by using the information of the original and modifying systems. Nowadays, due to the increased computational power, large finite element models are regularly used. During design optimization, modifications are done on the original structure in order to meet the design requirements which require reevaluation of the dynamic response of the structure. This is a time consuming process since for each mod...
