Evaluation of Unit Load Stability Under Dynamic Forklift Handling Conditions
… are transported in bulk as palletized unit loads, where the pallet is the base of the unit load. Material handling systems represent the physical environment in which unit loads are transported through supply chains. Material handling systems include different transportation modes and …

From Road to Laboratory: A Data-Driven Framework for Field-Aligned Simulation of Braking Dynamics Toward Sustainable Unit Load Packaging
… laboratory test methods for evaluating unit load stability still fall short of replicating the dynamic forces that occur during freight transportation. This study addressed that gap with an overarching objective to advance performance based and resource efficient packaging design by (1) …

The relative performance of scalable load balancing algorithms in loosely-coupled distributed systems. Available in 2 volumes.
… processors in the network. To ensure equity in load distribution and improved system performance, load balancing is often undertaken. The research conducted in this field so far, has been primarily concerned with a small set of algorithms operating on tightly-coupled distributed systems. More …

The Effect of Load Stabilizer Selection on Load Shift Within Unit Loads
Research on unit load stability aids manufacturing facilities in selecting the most efficient load stabilizer when shipping their products to market. This study's objective was to compare the performance a variety of different commonly used load stabilizers to stretch hooding. Stretch hooding is a …

Load-support conditions and computerized test apparatus for wood pallets
The in-service loads on wood pallets are often uniformly distributed in nature. Laboratory test methods to evaluate pallets typically use point or line loads because of the difficulty of simulating the actions of a uniform load. In support of research directed at developing design procedures for …

Evaluation of the Pallet Deflection that Occurs Under Forklift Handling Conditions
… by forklifts due to the weight of the unit load. Thus, most of the deflection is observed to occur on the outside edges and corners of the pallet. Several international standards are used in order to define the maximum deflection for pallet bending, including ISO 8611 and ASTM D1185. …
