| Summary: | Packing irregular 3D objects in a cuboid of minimum volume is considered. Each object is composed of a number of convex shapes, such as oblique and right circular cylinders, cones and truncated cones. New analytical tools are introduced to state placement constraints for oblique shapes. Using the phi-function technique, optimized packing is reduced to a nonlinear programming problem. Novel solution approach is provided and illustrated by numerical examples. |
