On modeling the design of cellular manufacturing systems

A new optimization model is discussed for the design of cellular manufacturing systems. It is based on an integer programming formulation that updates some other models by eliminating redundant machine assignment and cost coefficients dependent on cell configuration. To reduce computational burdens, a simplified integer programming model and a decomposition algorithm are proposed. Several computer solutions were performed to evaluate the performance of the new model. The computational results are discussed.     

Experimental studies of new ductile coupling beams and multi-storey shear walls

The span-depth ratios of coupling beams to interconnect shear walls are generally small, so that brittle shear failure may occur and lead to reduced ductility. In order to improve the ductility of coupling beams for earthquake loading, a new type of ductile coupling beam is proposed in this paper. Along the middle depth of this beam, a slit through the entire thickness (a narrow hole) near each end and two lateral keyways along the remaining middle part of the span are made. The reductions of the stiffness under service load and the ultimate carrying capacity of the beam due to the weakening mentioned above are small and the ductility is greatly increased. Tests of 4-storey walls interconnected by coupling beams in three different constructions (monolithic beams, beams with a through-slit and new-type beams) indicated that shear walls with the new coupling beams possess the best aseismic behaviours under cyclic loading. The proposed new coupling beam has been used in a high-rise building.

中国有色金属再生资源回收利用及展望

一、有色金属再生资源利用现状我国是有色金属资源短缺的国家，节约和合理使用资源显得特别重要。世界上工业发达国家对再生资源利用相当重视。近10年来世界再生铜产量已占原生铜产量的40％～55％，美国约占本国原生铜产量的60％，日本约占45％，德国约占80％。世界再生铝产量也占原生铝产量的30％～50％，美国约占本国原生铝的50％，日本约占90％，德国约占45％。世界再生铅产量也占原生铅产量的40％～60％，美国约占本国原生铅的75％，日本约占60％，德国约占55％。锌、镍、镁、锡、锑等再生资源也得到不同程度的利用。

Improvement of Microwave Loss Tangent and Tunability of Ba0.55Sr0.45TiO3/MgO Composites Using the Heterogeneous Precipitation Method

Ba_0.55Sr_0.45TiO₃/MgO composites were successfully prepared by the heterogeneous precipitation method and their structural, surface morphological, tunable properties, and dielectric properties at microwave frequency were systemically investigated. Compared with the sample prepared by the traditional solid-state method, the sample prepared by the heterogeneous precipitation method exhibits a smaller grain size, more uniform microstructure, higher tunability, and lower microwave loss, and these properties are very beneficial to the development of the microwave tunable devices application. Moreover, the effects of La₂O₃ doping on the dielectric and tunable properties of BST/MgO composites are investigated. The result shows that the La³⁺-doped sample has higher tunability and lower microwave loss than the undoped one.
