Reverse logistics network: A review

Design and planning of a closed-loop supply chain with three way recovery and buy-back offer

“…Wang and Bai (2010) pointed out that the firm outsourcing their reverse logistics operations to a TPRL service provider experiences the advantages of focusing on core competencies. Ko and Evans (2007) developed a mixed integer nonlinear programming model to design a dynamic integrated distribution network for TPRL service providers to account for the integrated aspect of optimizing the forward and reverse network simultaneously.…”

“…According to Wang and Bai (2010), configuration of reverse logistics network has a strong influence on performance of the forward logistics network and vice-versa, as they share number of resources such as warehouse and transportation. Salema et al (2007) proposed a mixed integer linear programming model for a CLSC which optimizes the forward and reverse networks simultaneously.…”

Nonlinear Analysis of Mechanical Behavior of the Eccentric In-Plane Beam-Wall Joint

“…There is little attention paid to the eccentric in-plane beam-wall joint in the current research on frame-shear wall structures. Experimental results of in-plane beam-wall joint with direct anchoring showed that the slip of longitudinal reinforcement was generated significantly in the eccentric side although the length of beam plunging wall met requirement of Code for design of concrete structures(GB 50010-2002) [1], and the bearing capacity and ductility of the eccentric joint are lower than that of the non-eccentric joint [2].Experiments of 6 eccentric joints were completed, and the experimental results indicated that both the 90°degree hooked anchorage of longitudinal bars and larger stirrup ratio of beam within wall can improve the bearing capacity and ductility of the joint [3,4].On the basis of the nonlinear finite element parametric analyses considering nonlinear bond-slip constitutive relations between steel and concrete, the mechanical behavior of the joint and main influencing factors are studied in this paper.…”
