In this paper we analyze an optimization problem that arises in the overhaul of a gas turbine engine. This problem involves the placement of nozzle guide vanes in the nozzle of the engine. The ...

Linear complementarity problems (LCPs) constitute a salient class of mathematical models wherein one seeks vectors that fulfil mutually exclusive non-negativity and orthogonality conditions relative ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...
