Mixed Convexity and Optimization Results for Functions with Integer and Real Variables with Applications to Queueing Systems
(2012)
In this dissertation, a new method for obtaining convexity and optimization results for functions with integer and real (i.e. mixed) variables is introduced and this new method is applied to obtain mixed convexity and ...
Interdependent Impacts of Disruption Management Strategies: Risk-Based Applications to Port Closures, Natural Disasters, and Oil Spills
(2012)
Recent disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan disabled production facilities, created supply shortages, disrupted business operations, and altered ...
Investigation and Modeling of Frictional Boundary Conditions in Oblique Cutting of Aluminum Alloys
(2012)
Friction at the cutting tool interface has been studied for 60 years, yet an accurate model of friction is largely unavailable, especially in operations such as turning, where the interface is inaccessible due the continuous ...

ROBUST DECISION-MAKING AND DYNAMIC RESILIENCE ESTIMATION FOR INTERDEPENDENT RISK ANALYSIS
(2012)
When systems and subsystems are put under external shocks and duress, they suffer physical and economic collapse. The ability of the system components to recover and operate at new stable production levels characterizes ...
