Response Surface Optimization Of Electron Beam Freeform Fabrication Depositions Using Design Of Experiments, Patricia A. Quigley
Response Surface Optimization Of Electron Beam Freeform Fabrication Depositions Using Design Of Experiments, Patricia A. Quigley
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The Electron Beam Freeform Fabrication (EBF3 ) System is a material depositing, layer additive technique that produces three dimensional (3D) parts out of a wide range of metals in high vacuum, using an electron beam and wire feedstock. Screening deposition trials on a titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V, at the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) revealed selective vaporization of the aluminum content of linear prototypes when subjected to chemical analysis. In this study, the aluminum content, bead height and bead width output responses were analyzed from a systematic study of the effects that the interactions of the EBF3 processing parameters …
Examination Timetabling With Mathematical Programming An Application In Turkish Air Force Academy, Emrah Koksalmis
Examination Timetabling With Mathematical Programming An Application In Turkish Air Force Academy, Emrah Koksalmis
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The focus of this thesis is the educational timetabling problem, which is a very challenging problem to solve especially with a high number of the departments, branches, classes, and students. Due to the large scale of educational timetabling problems and preferences of the stakeholders, it is almost impossible to form a general model that solves all of the timetabling problems in the literature. This resulted in the need to develop and employ specific models for specific institutions.
The purpose of this study is to develop a mathematical programming model that solves the examination timetabling problem in Turkish Air Force Academy …
A Study Of Decision Analysis Methods In Aerospace Technology Assessments, Sharon Monica Jones
A Study Of Decision Analysis Methods In Aerospace Technology Assessments, Sharon Monica Jones
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Managers of aerospace technology programs and projects are faced with the challenge of making technology portfolio decisions under conditions of limited data, rapidly changing macro level factors and organizational uncertainties. To help make these technology investment decisions, some aerospace managers and analysts have used techniques from the field of decision analysis. In addition, there have been a limited number of research studies of real decision problems.
This dissertation presents the results of a non-experimental examination of the use of decision analysis methods for the assessment of aerospace technology portfolios. A web-based survey instrument was developed based on the results of …
