Discrete lot sizing and scheduling on parallel machines: description of a column generation approach [PDF]
, 2013 In this work, we study the discrete lot sizing and scheduling problem (DSLP) in identical parallel resources with (sequence-independent) setup costs and inventory holding costs. We propose a Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition of a known formulation and describe

Numerical Exploration of Thermal Shock Resistance in MgO–C Refractories
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A mesostructure‐resolved numerical framework is developed to evaluate the thermal shock resistance of MgO–C refractories. By modeling interface debonding under rapid temperature changes and introducing a modified thermal shock parameter that accounts for mesocracks, the study shows how graphite content and aggregate size influence thermal shock ...
