A GANetXL Approach to an Optimal Maintenance Strategy in Food Manufacturing

Igbokwe N.C,Godwin H.C,Nwankwo C.O
An optimal maintenance strategy for improved cost and machine reliability in food manufacturing was developed in this study. Failure time parameters and cost data were obtained from a food manufacturing firm. The data obtained were applied to the mixed integer non-linear multi-objective optimization algorithm developed in this study, and solved using GANetXL. Overall, the developed optimal maintenance strategy provided better cost savings at N7, 349,397 than the current maintenance cost and mach...

Development of the best optimal policy for Inventory control in a Small and Medium Enterprise

Godwin H.C,Umeonwujiaku I.E,Aguh P.S,Igbokwe N.C
This study aims to address the issue of production inventory overstocking and understocking in a small and medium enterprise. Three years' worth of production data were acquired and accurately evaluated using multiple linear regression analysis in the case study to ensure successful inventory management. The MINITAB program was used to create a multiple linear regression model to predict the amount of inventory needed. By entering the amount of each raw material utilized in the model, the manage...

Engineering Education in Nigeria for Engineering Graduates: Issues and Strategies

Nkemakonam C. Igbokwe,Harold C. Godwin,Chukwuebuka M. U-Dominic
This conceptual paper presents a review of the developing trends in engineering education in Nigeria for engineering graduates in the 21st century. A case study approach was used for this study, chronicling several issues that impact quality engineering education presently in Nigeria. However in dealing with the issues this paper recommends that there is a need for Nigeria to become signatory to the international engineering alliance to ensure consistency in standards and the mobility of enginee...

Improving Education Outcomes in Engineering & Technology Domain: A Case of Faculty of Engineering, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka.

C M U-Dominic,H C Godwin,Nkemakonam Igbokwe
The occupational influx of foreign expatriates in the country and the technical preference of these foreign competitors over our indigenous engineers have shown that most of our university outputs do not bring forth the presumed outcome. This odd position has limited us further from the global technological theatre, and has been a contentious issue in various academic symposium and conferences. The research was conducted to examine the university system’s operational strategies and their underly...

Predictive Models for Photovoltaic Electricity Production in HotWeather Conditions

Jabar H. Yousif , Hussein A. Kazem, John Boland
The process of finding a correct forecast equation for photovoltaic electricity production from renewable sources is an important matter, since knowing the factors affecting the increase in the proportion of renewable energy production and reducing the cost of the product has economic and scientific benefits. This paper proposes a mathematical model for forecasting energy production in photovoltaic (PV) panels based on a self-organizing feature map (SOFM) model. The proposed model is compared wi...

About the Light Dimensions

Florian Ion T. Petrescu and John Kaiser Calautit
Light is one of the most fascinating something of all the time. This paper aims to develop a tool with which one can determine with great accuracy the dimensions of light. Basically was entered a new relationship through which one may determine the size of a photon depending on the wavelength of light. Instead wavelength of light can be used as variable the speed of light and its frequency. One could determine this new expressions using and the known equations: the total energy of a moving parti...

About Nano Fusion and Dynamic Fusion

Florian Ion T. Petrescu and John Kaiser Calautit
Hot fusion is currently a difficult goal to accomplish due to the high temperatures required, which are difficult to achieve and also to be maintained. For these reason, it is much easier to try to achieve cold fusion, or a combined method. In this paper, the author will briefly present some original relationships for setting up a theoretical model for cold fusion. It will be determined the radius of a moving elementary particle and will be calculated the potential energy of the two adjacent par...

Key-Hole Notches in Isostatic Graphite: A Review of Some Recent Data

Filippo Berto, A. Gagani, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu and Florian Ion T. Petrescu
Fracture of the breakable isostatic graphite is concerned using the experimental and theoretically, the plates containing nicks holes key subject to varying degrees of mixed task. The main purpose of this work is a double one. In the first place, in order to offer a new set of experimental results on fracture of samples of graphite scored, with different values of the load mixed and radii notch and which may be helpful for researchers, as it enlarges the very limited data available; and secondly...

Finite Element Analysis, 3d Model, Lap Joint, Notc h Stress Intensity Factors

Filippo Berto, Abedin Gagani, Raffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Antonio Apicella and Florian Ion T. Petrescu
Fatigue is a process (succession of mechanisms) which under the action of time-varying strains or deformations modifies the local properties of a material. These can lead to the formation of cracks and eventual rupture of the structure. Fatigue is in particular characterized by an extent of variation in stress which may be well below the yield strength of the material. The main stages of fatigue failure of an assembly are the initiation of cracks (if defects are not already present in the materi...

Three-Dimensional in Bonded Joints: A Short Review

Filippo Berto, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu and Florian Ion T. Petrescu
Distributions of stress 3D in the vicinity of the overlapping corners of joints with a single lap were investigated with accuracy at present the man. A (Fe), model accurately Finite Element 3D has been carried out in order to investigate the intensity of the stress of adjustments in the plan and outside of stress by the width of the plate. The influences of the thickness of the adhesive and the Poisson distribution have been taken into account. Numerical results showed the presence of modes enga...
