Double EWMA-Based Polynomial Quality Profiles Monitoring
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Profile monitoring is useful whenever the quality is described by a relationship between a response and one or more of explanatory variables. It is conventional to refer to this relationship as Quality Profile. Despite the ...
Distribution-Free Adaptive Step-Down Procedure for Fault Identification
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Identifying the faulty variables of the out-of-control signal in high-dimensional process is an important problem for quality control areas. Even though there have been several procedures for fault variable identifications, ...
First and Last Triggering Event Approaches for Replacement with Minimal Repairs
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
To make effective use of a running system, this paper proposes that, when replacement times could be scheduled at a planned time T of operation, and at a number N of minimal repairs, the newly proposed approach of whichever ...
What is Middle Maintenance Policy?
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The main purpose of this paper is to propose several new maintenance policies that can be performed at suitable middle times for trivariate preventive maintenance scenarios. Firstly, characteristics and limitations for the ...
An empirical study on lean awareness and potential for lean implementations in Qatar industries
(
Springer-Verlag London Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, an investigation on the level of recognition of lean concepts, principles, tools, and techniques in different industrial sectors in Qatar was carried out. The general aim of the study was to determine lean ...
Preventive replacement policies with aging failure and third-part damage
(
SciTePress
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In general, corrosions, degrading the mechanical strength of pipelines gradually with its age in a stochastic way, is the predominant cause of pipeline leaks. In addition, the third-part damage is the leading cause of ...
Replacement policies for periodic damage models
(
International Society of Science and Applied Technologies
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
A new periodic damage model for preventive replacement policies is proposed in this paper, where the damage produced by shocks is only measured at periodic times, without considering the mathematical models of the stochastic ...
Elastic properties of chiral, anti-chiral, and hierarchical honeycombs: A simple energy-based approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The effects of two geometric refinement strategies widespread in natural structures, chirality and self-similar hierarchy, on the in-plane elastic response of two-dimensional honeycombs were studied systematically. Simple ...
Nonlocal damage modelling in clay/epoxy nanocomposites using a multiscale approach
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
This study proposed a concurrent multiscale method to model damage in clay/epoxy nanocomposites. The method uses a nonlocal damage formulation to regularize the damage model. The multiscale method used, is based on the ...
