In this paper, an iterative procedure based on the extended Kantorovich method (EKM) is presented to gain highly accurate solution for bending of moderately thick functionally graded (FG) fully clamped sector plates. Effective mechanical properties of the sector plates assumed to be defined by a...

This paper presents an integrated artificial neural network-computer simulation (ANNSim) for optimization of G/G/K queue systems. The ANNSim is a computer program capable of improving its performance by referring to production constraints, system's limitations and desired targets. It is a goal...
