The problem was redefined with an additional constraint which is to be called the clustering constraints. The reason behind adding this constraint was to realistically save the business goal, which is the real-world operating cost of a logistics company. A proposed solution that can cater for this constraint in solving VRPTW problems was introduced. The solution was to add additional “delay routes” in order to plan those orders that cannot be fitted in today's route simulating the predicted tomorrow's route based on the unplanned orders for today. In our experiments the benchmark from [2] Solomon Marius M's VRPTW Benchmark Problems as well as [3] Gehring and Homberger's extended VRPTW instances of the original Solomon benchmark datasets was utilized. We did some modification to the datasets to be able to run our experiments. We collected different results of the solution with different tuning on the prioritization of the algorithm on the new constraint.","PeriodicalId":247351,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Conference on Sustainable Utilization and Development in Engineering and Technology (STUDENT)","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133880530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cable-driven snake-like robot arm (CDSLRA) owns a number of promising advantages such as: light-weight structure, low energy consumption, high speed motion due to low moment inertia and it is suitable to work in constrained work-conditions. A prototype consisting a series of 2-degree of freedom (DOF) joint modules with flexible backbone is proposed in this research. The kinematic analysis of n-module CDSLRA with flexible backbone is performed and developed. In addition, the design and implementation of motion control is also discussed. Set of PID parameters from analytical approach and experiments are obtained and compared for step response of the servo motor. From the experiments, the 2-DOF joint module with flexible backbone shows good position control and tracking ability.","PeriodicalId":247351,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Conference on Sustainable Utilization and Development in Engineering and Technology (STUDENT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131650266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mathematical simulation is solved by using three numerical methods, Alternating Group Explicit Method with Brian and Douglas variant, and Gauss Seidel Red Black method. This simulation is then being run on a parallel environment using the master and workers methodology where 20 units of processors work simultaneously in solving and visualizing the data. Lastly, the results obtained from the simulation is compared by using the parallel performance measurement and also on a large sparse matrix size.","PeriodicalId":247351,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Conference on Sustainable Utilization and Development in Engineering and Technology (STUDENT)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130494922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem has been identified and addressed by various researchers in the past decades. Effective magnetic design is one way of minimizing the effect. However it is tedious and time consuming as the design procedure involve higher analytical derivation and calculations. This paper presents a simpler graphical user interface toolbox to use for the design of reluctance motors. The developed interface calculates the analytical values of the aligned, unaligned and intermediate inductance values so that the user can interpret the inductance and torque profile easily. A new analytical method called Cyclic Integration Method (CIM) is proposed and is used for the performance evaluation of the designed tool box.","PeriodicalId":247351,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Conference on Sustainable Utilization and Development in Engineering and Technology (STUDENT)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123783568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
