Contracts and coordination: Supply chains with uncertain demand and supply

Considering a supply chain with a supplier subject to yield uncertainty selling to a retailer facing stochastic demand, we find that commonly studied classical coordination contracts fail to coordinate both the supplier's production and the retailer's procurement decisions and achieve efficient performance. First, we study the vendor managed inventory (VMI) partnership. We find that a consignment VMI partnership coupled with a production cost subsidy achieves perfect coordination and a win‐win outcome; it is simple to implement and arbitrarily allocates total channel profit. The production cost subsidy optimally chosen through Nash bargaining analysis depends on the bargaining power of the supplier and the retailer. Further, motivated by the practice that sometimes the retailer and the supplier can arrange a “late order,” we also analyze the behavior of an advance‐purchase discount (APD) contract. We find that an APD with a revenue sharing contract can efficiently coordinate the supply chain as well as achieve flexible profit allocation. Finally, we explore which coordination contract works better for the supplier vs. the retailer. It is interesting to observe that Nash bargaining solutions for the two coordination contracts are equivalent. We further provide recommendations on the applications of these contracts. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 63: 305–319, 2016

高速核在高温热平衡等离子体中的非平衡弛豫过程对热核反应率参数的影响

高速核入射到高温热平衡等离子体背景中,由于入射核动能远大于背景等离体中带电粒子之平均动能,入射核在与背景等离子体达到热平衡之前,会存在一段逐渐损失能量的非平衡弛豫过程。本文以高速氘核入射到高温氘化锂等离子体为例,在计及氘核的这种非平衡弛豫过程时,给出了一种计算热核反应D(t,n)~4He之反应率参数的方法。氘核在弛豫过程中的能量损失考虑了氘核与各种带电粒子的库仑散射过程,其能量损失率采用快速带电粒子的慢化理论来计算;氘与背景等离子体中的原子核发生的核反应过程,考虑了非平衡状态下束靶机制的D(t,n)~4He反应和热平衡状态下的D(t.n)~4He反应。在暂未考虑核散射的情况下,计算结果表明,当等离子体温度在7.5KeV～20KeV范围内变化时,氘核的非平衡弛豫过程对热平衡状态下D(t,n)~4He反应率参数的修正因子大致在1.0062～1.0943范围内变动,且温度越高,修正因子越小。计算还表明,当温度一定时,修正因子随等离子体中粒子的数密度变化不明显。

发动机冷却燃料超临界压力下做功潜力㶲分析

在高马赫数飞行下,超燃冲压发动机的燃料冷却量大于燃料燃烧量。为了降低燃料的冷却量以及实现燃料冷却量和燃烧量的匹配,采用分析法对超燃冲压发动机壁面燃料冷却工质在超临界压力下进行做功潜力分析。发动机壁面冷却燃料的特性决定其热量大小。根据发动机壁面温度分布、热流密度分布计算热量,建立稳定流动燃料工质的平衡方程。结果表明:在壁面最高温度为1200 K时,传入壁面的热量为562.4 k W,其中理论热量为541.3 k W;冷却燃料工质流量增加,最大输出功减小;燃料工质出口温度增加,输出功减小;燃料工质出口压力增加,输出功基本不变。     

Effects of nano-sized aluminum on detonation characteristics and metal acceleration for RDX-based aluminized explosive

Nano-sized aluminum(Nano-Al)powders hold promise in enhancing the total energy of explosives and the metal acceleration ability at the same time.However,the near-detonation zone effects of reaction between Nano-Al with detonation products remain unclear.In this study,the overall reaction process of 170 nm Al with RDX explosive and its effect on detonation characteristics,detonation reaction zone,and the metal acceleration ability were comprehensively investigated through a variety of experiments such as the detonation velocity test,detonation pressure test,explosive/window interface velocity test and confined plate push test using high-resolution laser interferometry.Lithium fluoride(LiF),which has an inert behavior during the explosion,was used as a control to compare the contribution of the reaction of aluminum.A thermochemical approach that took into account the reactivity of aluminum and ensuing detonation products was adopted to calculate the additional energy release by afterburn.Combining the numerical simulations based on the calculated afterburn energy and experimental results,the param-eters in the detonation equation of state describing the Nano-Al reaction characteristics were calibrated.This study found that when the 170 nm Al content is from 0％to 15％,every 5％increase of aluminum resulted in about a 1.3％decrease in detonation velocity.Manganin pressure gauge measurement showed no significant enhancement in detonation pressure.The detonation reaction time and reaction zone length of RDX/Al/wax/80/15/5 explosive is 64 ns and 0.47 mm,which is respectively 14％and 8％higher than that of RDX/wax/95/5 explosive(57 ns and 0.39 mm).Explosive/window interface velocity curves show that 170 nm Al mainly reacted with the RDX detonation products after the detonation front.For the recording time of about 10 μs throughout the plate push test duration,the maximum plate velocity and plate acceleration time accelerated by RDX/Al/wax/80/15/5 explosive is 12％and 2.9 μs higher than that of RDX/LiF/wax/80/15/5,respectively,indicating that the aluminum reaction energy significantly increased the metal acceleration time and ability of the explosive.Numerical simulations with JWLM explosive equation of state show that when the detonation products expanded to 2 times the initial volume,over 80％of the aluminum had reacted,implying very high reactivity.These results are significant in attaining a clear understanding of the reaction mechanism of Nano-Al in the development of aluminized explosives.
