A modified adaptive large neighbourhood search for a vehicle routing problem with flexible time window

Vehicle routing problems are widely available in real world application.  In this paper, we tackle the resolution of a specific variant of the problem called in the literature vehicle routing problem with flexible time windows (VRPFlexTW), when the solution has to obey several other constraints, such as the consideration of travel, service, and waiting time together with time-window restrictions.  There are proposed two modified versions of the Multi-objective Adaptive Large Neighbourhood Search (MOALNS).  The MOALNS approach and its different components are described.

Classical approach to determining the natural frequency of continual subsystem of three-mass inter-resonant vibratory machine

Problem statement. The three-mass vibratory system can be defined by five basic parameters: inertial parameters of the masses and stiffness parameters of two spring sets. Unlike the classical discrete system, the discrete-and-continual one consists of two rigid bodies connected by one spring set that form the discrete subsystem, and of the reactive mass considered as deformable (elastic) body characterized by certain stiffness and inertial parameters, which are related with one another.

Determination of electrode spacings in laboratory tanks to obtain appropriate value of electric voltage

Purpose. The aim is to study the electrical potential distribution in dimensional limited and electrically insulated volume. Мethodology. It includes numerical simulation of stationary processes in Comsol 4.3а program using DC current’s module . Results. The numerical simulation was carried out for the area of electrically insulated tank. It length was L3 = 3[m] with depth of conducting medium H = 0.4[m]. The reference areas were L10 = 10[m] and L15 = 15[m] with the same depth as the regarded tank. The reference areas represents infinite medium with conductance about 200 [S].
