A robust method for sizing reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) of truss structures is
developed by integrating nonlinear inelastic analysis, a structural reliability analysis method …

In recent years, a growing interest has been observed on the static and dynamic behavior of
multi-stable structures. In this paper, a shallow bistable regular pyramidal truss composed of …

The objective of this study is to explore a noble application of the improved homotopy
perturbation procedure bases in structural engineering by applying it to the geometrically …

Incremental–iterative methods are widely used for tracing the equilibrium paths of structures.
To determine the nonlinear structural response, an iteration process is required. In this …

In this paper, a new system of damage detection equations for damage identification of
cylindrical shells is developed based on classic finite element method, incomplete noisy …

Abstract Space trusses usually have a significant number of elements. As a result, some
elements inevitably have imperfections. In this study, the authors proposed a mixed finite …

This paper is devoted to proposing a new approach for damage detection of structures. In
this technique, the biconjugate gradient method (BCG) is employed. To remedy the noise …

In this article, geometric and material nonlinear analyses of planar and space trusses
subjected to thermo-mechanical loads are performed using the Total Lagrangian …

This paper investigates the nonlinear dynamics and stability of the shallow von Mises truss,
which is a prototype for buckling analysis of several planar and spatial truss systems and …

This paper deals with the convergence acceleration of iterative nonlinear methods. An
effective iterative algorithm, named the three-point method, is applied to nonlinear analysis …
