Structural engineering is focused on the safe and efficient design of infrastructure. Projects
can range in size and complexity, many requiring massive amounts of materials and …

This article provides a comprehensive review of structural optimization employing topology
methods for structures under vibration problems. Topology optimization allows creative and …

The ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) can overcome the mode mixing
problem of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and therefore provide more precise …

In this paper, a structural truss mass optimization on size and shape is performed taking into
account frequency constraints. It is well-known that structural optimizations on shape and …

Vibration behavior of any solid structure reveals certain dynamic characteristics and property
parameters of that structure. Inverse problems dealing with vibration response utilize the …

Water temperature is a controlling indicator of river habitat since many physical, chemical
and biological processes in rivers are temperature dependent. Highly precise and reliable …

Metamodel-assisted optimization is a valuable alternative to handle structural design
optimization procedures, which are usually quite expensive and sometimes even prohibitive …

Wavelet neural network (WNN) has been widely used in the field of civil engineering.
However, WNN can only effectively handle problems of small dimensions as the …

Artificial intelligence is gaining increasing popularity in structural analysis. However, at the
structural system level, the appropriateness of data representation, the paucity of data, and …

Structural optimization for performance-based seismic design (PBSD) in earthquake
engineering aims at finding optimum design variables corresponding to a minimum …
