Effectiveness of (R,Q) policies in one‐warehouse multiretailer systems with deterministic demand and backlogging

Consider a distribution system with a central warehouse and multiple retailers. Customer demand arrives at each of the retailers continuously at a constant rate. The retailers replenish their inventories from the warehouse which in turn orders from an outside supplier with unlimited stock. There are economies of scale in replenishing the inventories at both the warehouse and the retail level. Stockouts at the retailers are backlogged. The system incurs holding and backorder costs. The objective is to minimize the long‐run average total cost in the system. This paper studies the cost effectiveness of (R, Q) policies in the above system. Under an (R, Q) policy, each facility orders a fixed quantity Q from its supplier every time its inventory position reaches a reorder point R. It is shown that (R, Q) policies are at least 76% effective. Numerical examples are provided to further illustrate the cost effectiveness of (R, Q) policies. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Optimal policies for M/M/m queue with two different kinds of (N,T)‐policies

In this paper, two different kinds of (N, T)‐policies for an M/M/m queueing system are studied. The system operates only intermittently and is shut down when no customers are present any more. A fixed setup cost of K > 0 is incurred each time the system is reopened. Also, a holding cost of h > 0 per unit time is incurred for each customer present. The two (N, T)‐policies studied for this queueing system with cost structures are as follows: (1) The system is reactivated as soon as N customers are present or the waiting time of the leading customer reaches a predefined time T, and (2) the system is reactivated as soon as N customers are present or the time units after the end of the last busy period reaches a predefined time T. The equations satisfied by the optimal policy (N*, T*) for minimizing the long‐run average cost per unit time in both cases are obtained. Particularly, we obtain the explicit optimal joint policy (N*, T*) and optimal objective value for the case of a single server, the explicit optimal policy N* and optimal objective value for the case of multiple servers when only predefined customers number N is measured, and the explicit optimal policy T* and optimal objective value for the case of multiple servers when only predefined time units T is measured, respectively. These results partly extend (1) the classic N or T policy to a more practical (N, T)‐policy and (2) the conclusions obtained for single server system to a system consisting of m (m ≥ 1) servers. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

基于 ∆TOA 和方位角测量辅以间歇高度信息的双基地定位跟踪技术

本文讨论了双基地雷达系统中一种以收站△TOA和方位角测量为基础并辅以发射站传送的间歇高度信息的运动目标三维定位跟踪算法,详细分析了该技术的定位原理。在电子对抗条件下,发射站数据往往难以连续传送到接收站加以融合,因此有必要对间断传送的数据加以利用的方法进行研究。本文通过典型目标航迹的计算机仿真对该算法的性能做了评估。由于这种融合方法在双基地研究领域尚属初探,因此有待于在今后的研究中加以完善。

球齿轮传动的齿面接触分析和应力分析

球齿轮是一种新型的二维齿轮传动机构.在建立了球齿轮数学模型的基础上,得到了球齿轮传动的啮合模型,并进行了齿面接触特性分析,通过解非线性方程组,可得到接触点在齿面的位置.分析了球齿轮齿面的结构特征,针对球齿轮传动的接触形式表现为轮齿凸面与马鞍面之间的点接触,对啮合齿面的接触椭圆进行了分析计算,总结出了球齿轮在任一偏摆平面内啮合传动时接触椭圆的变化规律:在轮齿根部和顶部啮合时,接触椭圆较小,因而接触应力较大;而在轮齿中部啮合时,接触椭圆较大,所以接触应力较小.采用有限元的方法对球齿轮轮齿进行了弯曲应力和接触应力分析,分析结果进一步验证了接触椭圆变化规律的正确性.以上结论对进一步研究球齿轮的传动理论与实际应用具有重要的指导意义.
