A taxonomy of a living model of the enterprise

Whitman, Lawrence; Ramachandran, K.; Ketkar, V. (IEEE, 2001-02)

A designer has a choice of many models, methods, frameworks, and architectures. There is little consistency between these terms among researchers. Some of the most widely used architectures and frameworks are described ...
. Team decision skills development with MBTI © step II

Nazaran, Parisa; Malzahn, Don; Whitman, Lawrence E.; Saatchi, Bahareh (ASEE, 2012-06)

As part of an Engineer as Leader course, students learn to dynamically take leadership in problem solving teams when their unique skills, abilities, or knowledge can contribute to the shared objectives. Part of this ...
Techniques for analyzing customer feedback

Begun, Syeda Sayeedunissa (Wichita State University, 2011-05)

Surveys are an effective way of collecting customer feedback. Open-ended survey questions capture important dimensions of the respondent’s experience. The purpose of this study was to compare the critical incident technique ...
Thermo-mechanical analysis of metallized stereolithography EDM electrodes

Mathew, Jeeson (2005-12)

EDM is widely accepted in tool and die industries for its versatility in machining hardened steels. Its ability to machine heat treated hardened steels eliminates the conventional method of heat treatment after machining ...
A toll pricing framework for networks with advanced traveler information systems

Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram; Gupta, Amit (2004)

In this paper, we propose a toll pricing framework for a stochastic multimode tra±c assignment problem. This model assumes that there are two types of users on the network: those who have information about the network ...
Tool life prediction based on cutting forces and surface temperature in edge trimming of multidirectional CFRP composites

Valavan, Uvanandan (2007-05)

Fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) exhibit superior characteristics such as high specific strength, high specific modulus, fatigue strength and endurance. With an increase in the use of composite FRP materials in industries, ...
Tool wear of diamond interlocked tools in routing of CFRP composites

Janardhan, Prashanth (2005-12)

Though all CFRP materials are manufactured to their near net shape, they require a secondary machining operation for their final assemblage. In doing so, the main problem encountered is damage that results from delamination. ...
Torso loading via a harness method activates trunk muscles less than a hand loading method

McMulkin, Mark L.; Woldstad, Jeffrey C.; Hughes, Richard E. (Pergamon, 1998-04)

There is a need for data comparing muscle activity under equivalent moments at the torso using different loading methods. In torso biomechanics, it is often necessary to apply moments to people and then measure or predict ...
Training of ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy

Fernandez, Jeffrey E.; Pitetti, Kenneth H. (W.B. Saunders, 1993-05)

The effect of training on the physical work capacity (PWC) and the physiological response to simulated tasks of seven ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) were studied. Energy demand for each work task was ...
Transportation and distribution of future energy: Biofuels

Asmatulu, Eylem (Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2008-04-25)

Biofuel is a natural resource and has a significant attraction worldwide for many applications, including transportation vehicles, house and industrial heating and electricity production in power stations. It is reported ...
Uncertain location routing problem (LRP) integrated to inventory considering space limitation

Sajjadi, Seyed Reza; Cheraghi, S. Hossein (Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2008-04-25)

An optimal supply chain management system has a direct effect on the performance of any enterprise and could result in substantial cost savings. Successful supply chain management involves many decisions relating to the ...
User interaction in a power-wall based virtual reality environment

Deligiannidis, L.; Whitman, Lawrence (IEEE, 2003-03-22)

The Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Department at Wichita State University is developing an integrated set of virtual reality models of a manufacturing line of Boeing Wichita. The purpose of this research is to ...
Using a value stream map to assess environmental impacts

Govindarajulu, Arun Prakkash (Wichita State University, 2009-12)

In today's competitive world, companies focus on eliminating wastes to increase their profit, growth and ensure customer satisfaction. Among the known wastes, environmental wastes are typically the least considered. ...
Using Rerouting to Improve Aggregate Based Resource Allocation

Helvaci, Ali E.; Cetinkaya, Coskun; Yildirim, Mehmet Bayram (Academy Publisher, 2008-06)

This paper studies the effect of rerouting for augmenting aggregate based resource allocation in the trade-off between overhead and utilization. Aggregation is a common approach used to address the scalability issue ...
Venom variation and chemoreception of the viperid Agkistrodon contortrix: evidence for adaptation?

Greenbaum, Eli; Galeva, Nadezhda; Jorgensen, Michael J. (Springer, 2003-08)

Previous studies of chemoreceptive behavior in vipers suggest that snakes focus on the scent of envenomated tissue to track their prey following envenomation. Other studies have indicated a correlation between qualitative ...
Virtual reality: its usefulness for ergonomic analysis

Whitman, Lawrence E.; Jorgensen, Michael; Hathiyari, Kuresh; Malzahn, Don (IEEE, 2004-12)

This paper presents the results of an effort to compare results of an experiment performed in both a virtual and a real environment. The research question addressed is if virtual reality is a suitable tool for performing ...
