Optimization of multiple-layer microperforated panels by simulated annealing

Microperforated panels (MPPs) are recognized as suitable absorbers for noise control applications demanding special clean and health requirements.While it is relatively easy to design single-layer MPPs for sound absorption in one-to-two octave bands at medium-high frequencies, the performance for low frequencies (below 600 Hz) leads to a rather narrow-band absorption, similar to that of a Helmholtz resonator. However, multiple-layer MPPs can be designed as sound absorbers that yield low-frequency absorption in a wide frequency band. Recently, multiple-cavity perforated panels have been proposed to improve the performance of MPPs in the low-frequency range. In this article, the capability of multiple-layer and multiple-cavity MPPs to provide sound absorption at low frequencies is analyzed.

Penjadwalan merupakan aspek yang sangat penting karena didalamnya terdapat elemen perencanaan dan pengendalian produksi bagi suatu perusahaan yang dapat mengirim barang sesuai dengan waktu yang telah ditentukan, untuk memperoleh waktu total penyelesaian yang minimum. Masalah utama yang dihadapi oleh PT. ML adalah keterlambatan penyelesaian order yang mempengaruhi delivery time ke tangan costumer karena pelaksanaan penjadwalan produksi dilantai pabrik belum menghasilkan makespan yang sesuai dengan order yang ada. Oleh kaena itu dituntut untuk mencari solusi pemecahan masalah optimal dalam penentuan jadwal produksi untuk meminimisasi total waktu penyelessaian (makespan) semua order. Dalam penelitian ini, penjadwalan menggunakan metode Simulated Annealing (SA) diharapkan dapat menghasilkan waktu total penyelesaian lebih cepat dari penjadwalan yang ada pada perusahaan. Scheduling is a very important aspect because in it there are elements of planning and production control for a company that can send goods in accordance with a predetermined time, to obtain a minimum total time of completion. The main problem faced by PT. ML is the delay in completing orders that affect delivery time to customer because the implementation of production scheduling on the factory floor has not produced the makespan that matches the existing order. Therefore, it is required to find optimal problem solving solutions in determining the production schedule to minimize the total time of elimination (makespan) of all orders. In this study, scheduling using the Simulated Annealing (SA) method is expected to produce a total time of completion faster than the existing scheduling in the company.
