The importance of optimization is permanently increasing in today's world due to limitations
in available resources and increase in human population. Engineers always strive to design …

In general, the design optimization of large-scale structural systems is an extremely
computationally expensive process. However, optimal structural analysis provides efficient …

Special kinds of structures exhibit repetitive patterns that can be used in the process of
structural analysis in order to decrease the required computational time. This is especially …

In this paper four undirected graph products and four directed graph products are presented
for the formation of structural models. The undirected products are extensively used in graph …

Eigenproblems play a key role in the stability and free vibration analysis of structures. In
large structural models, the solutions of these problems need a considerable computational …

Jellyfish Search (JS) is a recently developed population-based metaheuristic inspired by the
food-finding behavior of jellyfish in the ocean. The purpose of this paper is to propose a …

Calculating a product of multiple graphs has been studied in mathematics, engineering,
computer science, and more recently in network science, particularly in the context of …

A structure is called regular if its model can be considered as a product graph. A great
computational advantage of regular structures, especially in the context of free vibration …

In this paper, an efficient method is developed for the analysis of regular structures. A
structure is called regular if its model can be formed by a graph product. Here, instead of …

Structural optimization involves a large number of structural analyses. When optimizing
large structures, these analyses require a considerable amount of computational time and …
