The impedance/admittance measurements of a piezoelectric transducer bonded to or
embedded in a host structure can be used as damage indicator. When a credible model of …

It has always been the goal of structural engineers to construct safe and stable buildings
using the least amount of materials. Utilizing a quick and effective way to optimize the cross …

We propose a bi-layer 5-tip edge coupler in a multilayer silicon nitride-on-silicon (SiN-on-Si)
waveguide platform. The coupler is used for the integration between a monolithic 1550 nm …

It is agreed that portfolio optimization is of great importance for the financial market.
However, input sensitivity and highly-concentrated portfolios have posed a challenge. In this …

Deterministic global optimization algorithms like Piyavskii–Shubert, direct, ego and many
more, have a recognized standing, for problems with many local optima. Although many …

DIRECT is a deterministic optimization algorithm based on the" divide-and-conquer"
paradigm. It looks for optimal solutions by systematic sampling of the feasible decision …

This paper deals with an adaptive multi-objective optimisation process for the design of
electric motors by means of supervised learning techniques. The process is based on a multi …

Optimistic methods have been applied with success to single-objective optimization. Here,
we attempt to bridge the gap between optimistic methods and multi-objective optimization. In …

While constrained, multiobjective optimization is generally very difficult, there is a special
case in which such problems can be solved with a simple, elegant branch-and-bound …

A major challenge in structural health monitoring (SHM) is to accurately identify both the
location and severity of damage using the dynamic response information acquired. While in …
