72	Satisficing solutions for multiobjective stochastic linear programming problems Adeyefa, Segun Adeyemi 06 1900 (has links) Multiobjective Stochastic Linear Programming is a relevant topic. As a matter of fact, many real life problems ranging from portfolio selection to water resource management may be cast into this framework. There are severe limitations in objectivity in this field due to the simultaneous presence of randomness and conflicting goals. In such a turbulent environment, the mainstay of rational choice does not hold and it is virtually impossible to provide a truly scientific foundation for an optimal decision. In this thesis, we resort to the bounded rationality and chance-constrained principles to define satisficing solutions for Multiobjective Stochastic Linear Programming problems. These solutions are then characterized for the cases of normal, exponential, chi-squared and gamma distributions. Ways for singling out such solutions are discussed and numerical examples provided for the sake of illustration. Extension to the case of fuzzy random coefficients is also carried out. / Decision Sciences Multiobjective programming Stochastic programming Linear programming Satisfying solution Chance constrained Expected value optimality/efficiency Variance optimality/efficiency Minimum risk optimality/efficiency Fuzzy random variables Random closed sets Embedding theorem 519.72 Linear programming Stochastic processes

Zinktjockleken har ett minimum tjocklekskrav enligt den svenska standarden ISO 1461:2009, som bestäms av dimensionen på ståldetaljens tjocklek. Trafikverket begär att med hjälp av detta examensarbete kunna begränsa antal mätningar på plats, då kan det ta allt för mycket tid och arbetsresurser i fall det skulle behövas kontroll av väg-och bro räckesanläggningar från beställaren. Sannolikhetsläran och stickprov i statistik hjälper oss att begränsa antalet mätningarna på skyddsanordningarna som görs ute i fält. Med hjälp av normalfördelning kommer man fram till den efter strävade metoden, som med en rimlig arbetsinsats ger en rättvisbild av skikttjockleken på monterat räckesmaterial. Vid variation av varmförzinkaren på vägräckesanläggningar undersöker man varje leverantörs räckesdel för sig, alltså man mäter zinktjockleken på en varmförzikare för sig, kontrollerar zinkskiktstjockleken på de och tar slutsatser sedan går man vidare till nästa tillverkare. Om vägräckena är mindre än 30 stycken mäter man zinktjockleken på respektive anläggning. För beräkning av zinkskiktstjockleken på monterad räckesmaterial börjar man med 30 mätningar och användning av den centrala gränsvärde satsen för att approximera till normalfördelning och analysera resultatet. Det slutliga resultatet av examensarbetet är ett Excelprogram med inmatade formler. Excel programmet är ett hjälpmedel för framtagning av 95 % konfidensintervall. Med hjälp av detta intervall kan man ta slutsatser om zinkskiktet på vägräckena uppfyller kravet eller inte och kunna komma fram till ett resultat. Om kravet ligger i intervallet eller store än intervallet är materialet godkänt. / Control of zinc coating on assembled railing materials made on site lacks a common methodology. Zinc coating should have a minimum thickness requirements according to the Swedish standard ISO 1461:2009, which is determined by the dimension of the steel thickness. Trafikverket expects that with help from this thesis it could limit the number of measurements on site, otherwise it will take too much time and labor resources, in case control of road and bridge railing systems are required from the customer. Probabilities and sampling in statistics helps us to limit the number of measurements of the protective devices that are made in the field. Using normal distribution, one arrive at the element of method that with reasonable effort gives a fair picture of the layer thickness of the assembled railing materials. Upon variation of the galvanizers on road barrier systems, each part is investigated separately by measuring zinc thickness of a galvanizers, checking the zinc coating thickness on them, take conclusions and later on investigate the next manufacturer. If a crash barrier is less than 30 pieces, the zinc coating thickness is measured at each facility by itself. For calculation of the zinc coating thickness on a mounted railing material one begins with 30 measurements and the use of the central limit theorem to approximate it to normal distribution and analyze the results. The final result of the thesis is an Excel program with input formulas. The Excel program is a tool for producing 95% confidence interval. Using this interval, one can make conclusions that if the zinc coating on a crash barrier fulfills the requirement or not and later on be able to come up with a result. If the requirement is in the interval or larger than the interval, the material is approved. galvanizing zink layer layer thickness corrosion iron zinc alloy silicon content Swedish road and bridge railing compound Arenastad mean standard deviation confidence confidence level varmförzinkning zinkskikt skikttjocklek korrosion järn zink legering kiselhalt svenska väg och broräckesföreningen arenastad medelvärde standardavvikelse konfidensintervall konfidensgrad Civil Engineering Samhällsbyggnadsteknik
77	[pt] EFEITO DA ESTIMAÇÃO DOS PARÂMETROS SOBRE O DESEMPENHO CONJUNTO DOS GRÁFICOS DE CONTROLE DE X-BARRA E S / [en] EFFECT OF PARAMETER ESTIMATION ON THE JOINT PERFORMANCE OF THE X-BAR AND S CHARTS LORENA DRUMOND LOUREIRO VIEIRA 09 July 2020 (has links) [pt] A probabilidade de alarme falso, alfa, dos gráficos de controle de processos depende dos seus limites de controle, que, por sua vez, dependem de estimativas dos parâmetros do processo. Esta tese apresenta inicialmente uma revisão dos principais trabalhos sobre o efeito dos erros de estimação dos parâmetros do processo sobre alfa quando se utiliza o gráfico de X e S individualmente e em conjunto. O desempenho dos gráficos é medido através de medidas de desempenho (número médio de amostras até o sinal, taxa de alarme falso, distribuição do número de amostras até o sinal, que, em geral, são variáveis aleatórias, função dos erros de estimação. Pesquisas recentes têm focado nas propriedades da distribuição condicional do número de amostras até o sinal, ou ainda, nas propriedades da distribuição da taxa de alarme-falso condicional. Esta tese adota esta abordagem condicional e analisa o efeito da estimação dos parâmetros do processo no desempenho conjunto dos gráficos de X e S em dois casos: Caso KU (Média conhecida – Variância desconhecida) e Caso UU (Média desconhecida – Variância desconhecida). A quase totalidade dos trabalhos anteriores considerou apenas um gráfico, isoladamente; sobre efeito da estimação dos parâmetros sobre o desempenho conjunto conhecemos apenas um trabalho, sobre gráficos de X e R, mas nenhum sobre gráficos de X e S. Os resultados da análise mostram que o desempenho dos gráficos pode ser muito afetado pela estimação de parâmetros e que o número de amostras iniciais requerido para garantir um desempenho desejado é muito maior que os números tradicionalmente recomendados na literatura normativa de controle estatístico de processo (livros texto e manuais). Esse número é, porém, menor que o máximo entre os números requeridos para os gráficos de X e de S individualmente. Questões a serem investigadas como desdobramento dessa pesquisa são também indicadas nas Considerações Finais e Recomendações. / [en] The false-alarm rate of control charts, alpha, depends on the control limits calculated, which depend, in turn, on the estimated process parameters. This dissertation initially presents a review of the main research articles about the effect of the estimation errors of the process parameters upon alpha when X and S charts are used separately and together. The charts performance is evaluated through performance measures (average run-length, false-alarm rate, run-length distribution, etc), which are, in general, random variables, function of the estimation errors. Recent researches focused on the properties of the conditional run-length, or still (in the case of Shewhart charts) on the properties of the conditional false-alarm rate distribution. This dissertation adopts this conditional approach and investigates the effect of parameter estimation on the joint behavior of X and S charts in two cases: KU Case (Known mean – Unknown variance) and UU Case (Unknown mean - Unknown variance). Almost all previous works considered just only one chart separately – just only one joint performance work is known by the author, one about the effect of the estimation errors of the process parameters upon X e R joint performance. The results show that the charts performance can be severely affected by the parameter estimation and the number of initial samples required to ensure the desirable performance is greater than the numbers of initial samples recommended by traditional statistical process control reference texts (books and manuals). This number is, however, smaller than the maximum between the numbers of samples required by the X and the S charts separately. Additional issues for follow-up research are recommended in the concluding section.

78	Minimization of Noise and Vibration Related to Driveline Imbalance using Robust Design Processes Al-Shubailat, Omar 17 August 2013 (has links) Variation in vehicle noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) response can be caused by variability in design (e.g. tolerance), material, manufacturing, or other sources of variation. Such variation in the vehicle response causes a higher percentage of produced vehicles to have higher levels (out of specifications) of NVH leading to higher number of warranty claims and loss of customer satisfaction, which are proven costly. Measures must be taken to ensure less warranty claims and higher levels of customer satisfactions. As a result, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have implemented design for variation in the design process to secure an acceptable (or within specification) response. The focus here will be on aspects of design variations that should be considered in the design process of drivelines. Variations due to imbalance in rotating components can be unavoidable or costly to control. Some of the major components in the vehicle that are known to have imbalance and traditionally cause NVH issues and concerns include the crankshaft, the drivetrain components (transmission, driveline, half shafts, etc.), and wheels. The purpose is to assess NVH as a result of driveline imbalance variations and develop a tool to help design a more robust system to such variations. program.

79	Development of high-performance algorithms for a new generation of versatile molecular descriptors. The Pentacle software Durán Alcaide, Ángel 04 March 2010 (has links) The work of this thesis was focused on the development of high-performance algorithms for a new generation of molecular descriptors, with many advantages with respect to its predecessors, suitable for diverse applications in the field of drug design, as well as its implementation in commercial grade scientific software (Pentacle). As a first step, we developed a new algorithm (AMANDA) for discretizing molecular interaction fields which allows extracting from them the most interesting regions in an efficient way. This algorithm was incorporated into a new generation of alignmentindependent molecular descriptors, named GRIND-2. The computing speed and efficiency of the new algorithm allow the application of these descriptors in virtual screening. In addition, we developed a new alignment-independent encoding algorithm (CLACC) producing quantitative structure-activity relationship models which have better predictive ability and are easier to interpret than those obtained with other methods. / El trabajo que se presenta en esta tesis se ha centrado en el desarrollo de algoritmos de altas prestaciones para la obtención de una nueva generación de descriptores moleculares, con numerosas ventajas con respecto a sus predecesores, adecuados para diversas aplicaciones en el área del diseño de fármacos, y en su implementación en un programa científico de calidad comercial (Pentacle). Inicialmente se desarrolló un nuevo algoritmo de discretización de campos de interacción molecular (AMANDA) que permite extraer eficientemente las regiones de máximo interés. Este algoritmo fue incorporado en una nueva generación de descriptores moleculares independientes del alineamiento, denominados GRIND-2.

80	ON-MACHINE MEASUREMENT OF WORKPIECE FORM ERRORS IN ULTRAPRECISION MACHINING Gomersall, Fiona January 2016 (has links) Ultraprecision single point diamond turning is required to produce parts with sub-nanometer surface roughness and sub-micrometer surface profiles tolerances. These parts have applications in the optics industry, where tight form accuracy is required while achieving high surface finish quality. Generally, parts can be polished to achieve the desired finish, but then the form accuracy can easily be lost in the process rendering the part unusable. Currently, most mid to low spatial frequency surface finish errors are inspected offline. This is done by physically removing the workpiece from the machining fixture and mounting the part in a laser interferometer. This action introduces errors in itself through minute differences in the support conditions of the over constrained part on a machine as compared to the mounting conditions used for part measurement. Once removed, the fixture induced stresses and the part’s internal residual stresses relax and change the shape of the generally thin parts machined in these applications. Thereby, the offline inspection provides an erroneous description of the performance of the machine. This research explores the use of a single, high resolution, capacitance sensor to quickly and qualitatively measure the low to mid spatial frequencies on the workpiece surface, while it is mounted in a fixture on a standard ultraprecision single point diamond turning machine after a standard facing operation. Following initial testing, a strong qualitative correlation exists between the surface profiling on a standard offline system and this online measuring system. Despite environmental effects and the effects of the machine on the measurement system, the capacitive system with some modifications and awareness of its measurement method is a viable option for measuring mid to low spatial frequencies on a workpiece surface mounted on an ultraprecision machine with a resolution of 1nm with an error band of ±5nm with a 20kHz bandwidth. / Thesis / Master of Applied Science (MASc)
