The task of providing optimal composite structures is increasingly difficult. New analysis
approaches seek to model the material at the fibre/matrix scale and increasingly more …

While evolutionary algorithms are known among the best methods for solving both
theoretical and real-world optimization problems, constraint handling is still one of the major …

Reducing emissions is of increasing global importance. Within shipping, the International
Maritime Organisation's regulations are putting pressure on companies to quickly reduce …

As the artificial floating bed (AFB) is more extensively applied in water treatment, the
hydraulic characteristics of the AFB has been broadly investigated. However, the …

A large number of experimental studies show that the mechanical parameters of deep
buried surrounding rock show significant attenuation characteristics with the increase of …

Abstract The Multi-Level Selection Genetic Algorithm (MLSGA) is shown to increase the
performance of a simple Genetic Algorithm. It is unique among evolutionary algorithms as its …

To address the detection difficulty problem of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in complex
electromagnetic environments, this paper proposes a genetic algorithm-based …

In many complex practical optimization cases, the dominant characteristics of the problem
are often not known prior. Therefore, there is a need to develop general solvers as it is not …

Abstract Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a new method of solid state joining of metals and
nonmetals as a substitute technology applied in high strength alloys that are challenging in …

The emergence of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has identified genetic traits
and polymorphisms that are associated with the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver …
