Acoustic topology optimization using a mixed formulation and a three-material scheme by B. Ferrándiz, F.D. Denia, J. Martínez-Casas, E. Nadal, J.J. Ródenas

“…Topology optimization (TO) has demonstrated significant efficacy in generating innovative designs to minimize acoustic or elastic responses, providing sophisticated structures that mitigate challenges such as the harmful effects of urban noise pollution. However, vibroacoustic problems require distinct governing equations for air and structural subdomains, making standard density-based TO methods unsuitable. …”

A sustainable and reliable model for iron closed-loop supply chain network design with considering risk and lateral transmision and developed multi-objective decision-making method by Hamid Saffari, Morteza Abbasi, Jafar Gheidar-Kheljani

“…Purpose: This research proposes a multi-objective and robust model considering both cost and risks related to the environment (water consumption and environmental pollution), social responsibility (working conditions and employee health), operations (change in demand and return rates), and disruption (accs and diseases such as COVID-19) in the supply chain, using horizontal collaboration to deal with it.Methodology: In this research, mixed-integer linear programming and robust optimization technique have been used for closed-loop supply chain network design and a multi-objective method has been developed to solve the problem and create Pareto spaces.Findings: The results of the calculations show the effect of failure probability on the capacity of the facility, the total cost of the network and the degree of collaboration between members of the supply chain to deal with the risk. …”

Fiscal Mechanism for Countering Negative Environmental Externalities by Viktor Melnyk, Vadym Hrebenozhko

“…The theoretical analysis of issues of countering negative environmental externalities allowed us to classify specific instruments and levers of the fiscal mechanism into the following groups:budget expenditures of different levels intended to counter negative environmental externalities and adapt to climate change, namely, state and municipal loans and investments in green economy facilities, green economy subsidies, direct financing of environmental protection measures; specific tax instruments of environmental focus (energy and fuel taxes; transport taxes; taxes on emissions that cause global changes; payments for pollution, waste disposal and recycling, for the use of natural resources and subsoil, for noise impact, etc.); non-tax revenue instruments (revenues from auctions of emission permits); loan instruments of environmental focus (green bonds, sustainable development bonds, climate bonds issued by state and local authorities); quasi-fiscal instruments (international and intergovernmental grants and assistance (including within the framework of international climate initiatives), national climate initiatives).…”
