Study and Analysis of Automated Order Picking Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Order picking is an essential part of order processing in warehousing and distribution operations and can be performed using manual, automated, or semi-automated systems.
This thesis analyzes two automated systems, which ...
Modeling and Optimization of Biofuel Supply Chain Considering Uncertainties, Hedging Strategies, and Sustainability Concepts
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Due to energy crisis and environmental concerns, alternative energy has attracted a lot of attention in both industry and academia. Biofuel is one type of renewable energy that can reduce the reliance on fossil fuel, and ...
Electrical Performance Analysis of a Novel Embedded Chip Technology
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Recently ultra-thin embedded die technology gained much attention for their reduced footprint, light weight, conformality and three-dimensional assembly capabilities. The traditional flexible circuit fabrication process ...
Resilience Assessment for Complex Networks Based on Recovery Strategies
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
The vulnerability of complex networks to unexpected disruptive events could be reduced by increasing network resilience through the efficient recovery of the damaged network. To find the most efficient recovery strategy ...
Stochastic Scheduling Optimization for Solving Patient No-show and Appointment Cancellation Problems
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Patient non-attendance is the major challenge that reduces practice efficiency, resource utilization, and clinic accessibility, and leads to increased cost and diminished quality of care, while the clinic scheduling system ...
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Nano-Indentation Process of Silicon: Effects of Initial Temperature and Grain Size
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
In this study, a comprehensive investigation on nano-scale indentation of monocrystal and polycrystalline silicon is carried out by adopting molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. Five levels of initial temperature (30K, 100K, ...
Economic Analysis of Packaging Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Packaging has a significant impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of the supply chain, where improvement can be achieved through the development and selection of an appropriate packaging system. One way to explore ...
Design and Manufacturing of Variable Stiffness Cellular Architecture
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Cellular structures are highly evaluated due to their high material efficiency. Both theoretical and experimental studies have done on periodic cellular structures. However, the mechanical performance can be stochastically ...
Multi-Objective Optimal Phasor Measurement Units Placement in Power Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The extensive development of power networks has increased the requirements for robust, reliable and secure monitoring and control techniques based on the concept of Wide Area Measurement System (WAMS). Phasor Measurement ...
Evacuation Trees with Contraflow and Divergence Considerations
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
In this thesis, we investigate how to evacuate people using the available road transportation network efficiently. To successfully do that, we need to design evacuation model that is fast, safe, and seamless. We enable the ...
