  • Abstract
    اين مقاله به تحليل پراكندگي الكترومغناطيسي از ساختارهاي هادي در پلاريزاسيون مي‌پردازد. براي مدل‌ سازي چنين مسايلي، معادله‌ي انتگرال ميدان مغناطيسي به كار گرفته شده و چگالي جريان القا شده روي سطح پراكننده به عنوان تابع مجهول براي معادله‌ي انتگرال ذكر شده در نظر گرفته مي‌شود. به دليل آنكه براي تابع چگالي جريان القايي، در حالت كلي، جواب تحليلي در دسترس نمي‌باشد يك روش عددي براي محاسبه‌ي آن بررسي مي‌گردد. در خاتمه، سه ساختار پراكننده تحليل شده و منحني‌هاي چگالي جريان براي آنها ارايه مي‌شود.
  • Abstract
    Mathematical modeling of supply chain operations has proven to be one of the most complex tasks in the eld of operations management and operations research. Despite the abundance of several modeling proposals in the literature; for vast majority of them, no e ective universal application is conceived. This issue renders the proposed mathematical models inapplicable due largely to the fact that real-life supply chain problems are set forth in restrained terms or represented less strikingly than they would bear out. This paper is triggered to bridge this gap by proposing a universal mixed integer linear programming (MILP) framework which to large extent simulates many realistic considerations in vehicle routing scheduling problems in cross-docking systems which might have separately been attempted by other researchers. The developed model is pioneer in excogitating the vehicle routing scheduling problem with the following assumptions: a) multiple products are transported between pick-up and delivery nodes, b) delivery time-intervals are imposed on each delivery node, c) multiple types of vehicles operate in the system, d) capacity constraints exists for each vehicle type, and nally e) vehicles arrives simultaneously at cross-docking location. Moreover, to solve the model a hybrid solution methodology is presented by combining fuzzy possibilistic programming and stochastic programming. Finally, in order to demonstrate the accuracy and eciency of the proposed model, an extensive sensitivity analysis is performed to scrutinize its parametersʹ demeanors.
