Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to propose a customer-oriented method for locating charging stations based on queue theory.

Design/methodology/approach

We first integrate queuing theory with customer satisfaction to analyze the composition of charging stations. Next, we examine both functional and spatial coordination among these stations. Finally, we develop an enhanced genetic algorithm incorporating flying levy and self-adaptive mechanisms.

Findings

Our findings indicate that the customer-oriented approach significantly boosts customer satisfaction. Additionally, improved coordination enhances the feasibility of the charging stations and analyzing the investment payback period contributes to increased profitability.

Originality/value

This research uniquely applies queue theory to the selection of charging stations, explores the dynamics of coordination and investigates the payback period of investments.

Abstract

Purpose

This study constructs a three-stage evaluation model for interdisciplinary organizations to solve their ranking problems effectively.

Design/methodology/approach

A three-stage interdisciplinary organization evaluation model abounds the key problems of “who will evaluate the projects?” and “how to evaluate the projects?”. In the first stage, the authors build a consensus maximization model to identify the selected experts based on the interval grey number because of the uncertainty in assessment. In the second stage, considering the reliability of the experts, the authors calculate the reliability of the experts based on historical data. Meanwhile, considering the gradual changes of the experts, the dynamic weighting method is obtained based on the clustering method. In the third stage, considering decision-makers regret psychological behavior, the authors construct a cross-organizational performance evaluation model based on consensus expectations.

Findings

First, for selecting the experts responsible for assessing interdisciplinary organizations, the consensus-reaching method can effectively avoid cognitive bias. Second, during the assessment, the authors obtained more reasonable results by considering the psychological changes of experts based on regret theory. Third, based on the results, the cross-organization of colleges focused on the achievements of talent training, cross effects, and system construction.

Practical implications

Our study could help organizations establish a suitable assessment mechanism and promote interdisciplinary development.

Originality/value

First, considering the importance of selecting the experts, the authors use the consensus-reaching process for expert selection. This method could guarantee most experts' preferences. Then, the authors propose a two-stage dynamic weighting method, including a pre-determined and adjusted process. The dynamic method can better perform the preferences of experts. Third, the authors studied the assessment in interdiscipline. In addition, based on the framework and considering the features of the interdiscipline, the authors use the grey number to perform the uncertain preferences of the experts using regret theory.

Abstract

Purpose

Improvement and optimization design of a two-stage vibration isolation system proposed in this paper are conducted to ensure the device of electronic work effective.

Design/methodology/approach

The proposed two-stage vibration isolation system of airborne equipment is optimized and parameterized based on multi-objective genetic algorithm.

Findings

The results show that compared with initial two-stage vibration isolation system, the angular vibration of the two-stage vibration isolation system becomes 3.55 × 10-4 rad, which decreases by 89%. The linear isolation effect is improved by at least 67.7%.

Originality/value

The optimized two-stage vibration isolation system effectively improves the vibration reduction effect, the resonance peak is obviously improved and the reliability of the mounting bracket and the shock absorber is highly improved, which provides an analysis method for two-stage airborne equipment isolation design under complex dynamic environment.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to propose a two-stage vibration isolation system for large airborne equipment to isolate aircraft vibration load.

Design/methodology/approach

First, the vibration isolation law of the discrete model of large airborne equipment under different damping ratios, stiffness ratios and mass ratios is analyzed, which guides the establishment of a three-dimensional solid model of large airborne equipment. Subsequently, the vibration isolation transfer efficiency is analyzed based on the three-dimensional model of the airborne equipment, and the angular and linear vibration responses of the two-stage vibration isolation system under different frequencies are studied.

Findings

Finally, studies have shown that the steady-state angular vibration at the non-resonant frequency changes little. In contrast, the maximum angular vibration at the resonance peak reaches 0.0033 rad, at least 20 times the response at the non-resonant frequency. The linear vibration at the resonant frequency is at least 2.14 times the response at the non-resonant frequency. Obviously, the amplification factor of linear vibration is less than that of angular vibration, and angular vibration has the most significant effect on the internal vibration of airborne equipment.

Originality/value

The two-stage vibration isolation equipment designed in this paper has a positive guiding significance for the vibration isolation design of large airborne equipment.
