Performance-based design optimization (PBDO) aims to design safe, resilient, and cost-
effective structures. Methods used for PBDO have evolved by integrating numerical …

This paper presents an optimization framework for steel trusses. The authors implemented a
penalty-based approach to optimise the size, shape, and topology based on a dynamic …

A numerical data set will be developed to assist in the design of Savonius wind turbines. The
main objective of study is to improve Savonius turbine blade designs to increase torque …

Inducer is an important device which is mounted upstream of the inlet to the main impeller of
the centrifugal pump and rotates at the same rotational speed as the impeller. The main …

Abstract Design optimization of moderately thick hexagonal honeycomb sandwich plate has
been investigated via employing an improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization …

This study focuses on collapse-performance-aided optimization of steel concentrically
braced frame (SCBF) structures optimized in the framework of performance-based design …

A mixed genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization in conjunction with nonlinear
static and dynamic analyses as a smart and simple approach is introduced for performance …

To optimize the structure of a new coupling beam pile foundation, a finite element model that
is verified by an indoor model test was established and compared with a pile group …

This research aims to develop a novel and cost-effective seismic force-resisting system
called “curved damper truss moment frame”(CDTMF) by coupling the recently developed …
