Spring-loaded plungers use a spring and a plunger (or ball tip) to exert a precise and repeatable force. They are a better option than having engineers cobble together an assembly that uses a simple, ...

Abstract: An iterated greedy algorithm (IGA) is a simple and powerful heuristic algorithm. It is widely used to solve flow-shop scheduling problems (FSPs), an important branch of production scheduling ...

Abstract: Spring-loaded pressure safety valves are the key devices used for protecting pressure vessels and systems. In order to facilitate the design progress of spring-loaded pressure safety valves ...
