Standing on a common ground: a comparison of static stability approaches for pallet loading

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract At the practical level, the static stability constraint is one of the most important constraints in practical pallet loading problems, such as air cargo palletizing. Approaches to modeling static stability, which range from base support and mechanical equilibrium calculations to physical simulation, differ in workflow, focus, and assumptions ...
