The vibration response of small arteries is studied by modeling the system as an elastic tube filled with incompressible fluid embedded in an elastic foundation. The entire artery system is represented by a series of circuits and the segments of the artery system is considered to be small oscillatory dynamic systems connected serially by the fluid impedance. The resonance frequency of the digital artery is calculated with 0.1mm thickness, 0.49 Poisson's ratio, 15 MPa Young's modulus and 50mm length of the vessel. When the cochlea are subjected to sound of a given frequency. the basilar membrane vibrates with large amplitude at a particular position, and the position depends on the frequency of the sound. A very interesting observation is that when the input is from the large diameter side, the same artery system does not show any spatial resonance.

A new analysis approach is developed for hand-arm vibration analysis of musculoskeletal disorders. At a given equilibrium point, the musculo-tendon system can be interpreted as a spring damper system. It is considered that the Flexor Digitorum Profundus (FDP) and Lumbrical (LU) are participating in the response to the vibration force. The study shows that realistic muscle models should be included in the vibration analysis of the hand-arm exposed to tool vibration. The hand-arm system is found to have a redundancy in muscles because it has many more muscles than the minimum number required to establish equilibrium in gripping. An important observation is that bigger extrinsic muscles carry most of the static load to generate the grip force, and smaller muscles carry most tool vibration force at high frequencies.

In this paper we impose a capacity restriction on a multi-echelon joint location-inventory model. The setting is that of a single product manufacturer distributing its product to a number of warehouses, each of which is assigned to a number of retailers. There is no lateral supply between warehouses and they do not share retailers. The model simultaneously makes decisions on location and inventory policy for both warehouses and retailers, and restricts the capacity of the warehouses to a point where it satisfies the sum of the reorder point and the reorder quantity. The model is then solved in GAMS, and a numerical study is carried out to show that the model outperforms separate models. In addition the sensitivity of the capacity constraint is analyzed.
