Civil structures are usually prone to damage during their service life and it leads them to loss
their serviceability and safety. Thus, damage assessment can guarantee the integrity of …

Implementation of data mining (DM) techniques in different areas of civil engineering has
recently given very good results. However, application of DM in structural health monitoring …

Every day, the immature sunflowers generate heliotropic movements. Two growth
mechanisms are controlled on the heliotropic movements of immature sunflowers. The first …

Nature-based algorithms have become popular in recent fifteen years and have been widely
applied in various fields of science and engineering, such as robot control, cluster analysis …

One of the major reasons for the importance of green vehicle routing is that current
distribution systems are not sustainable in the long run. Because currently, only …

The sand cat swarm optimization algorithm (SCSO) is a metaheuristic algorithm proposed by
Amir Seyyedabbasi et al. SCSO algorithm mimics the predatory behavior of sand cats, which …

Currently, visual inspections for damage identification of structures are broadly used.
However, they have two main drawbacks; time limitation and qualified manpower …

We study a capacitated multi-item lot sizing problem with nonidentical machines. For the
problem, we propose several mathematical formulations and their per-item and per-period …

The capacitated lot-sizing and machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent
setup time and setup carryover is a challenging problem with a wide application in …

Structural control systems are classified into four categories, that is, passive, active, semi-
active, and hybrid systems. These systems must be designed in the best way to control …
