In the last decades, design optimization of structures received significant attention to
reconcile economic aspects, after the recent advances in computer technology. Many …

Structural optimization for performance-based seismic design (PBSD) in earthquake
engineering aims at finding optimum design variables corresponding to a minimum …

The method of incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) is one of the most accurate nonlinear
seismic analyses. IDA is a time-consuming method and has a high computational cost. Also …

To improve the computing accuracy and simulation efficiency of fatigue reliability estimation
for turbine rotor, a multi-agent collaborative modelling (MACM) approach is proposed by …

Digital video watermark is widely used to protect copyright and content authentication. DWT-
SVD based method, ie, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and singular value decomposition …

Shape optimization of structures with frequency constraints is a highly nonlinear dynamic
optimization problem. In order to deal with this type of optimization problem, efficient …

The current study proposes a framework to provide an optimal distribution of energy
dissipation devices for low‐and mid‐rise framed buildings using an artificial neural network …

We propose a new algorithm, named Asymmetric Genetic Algorithm (AGA), for solving
optimization problems of steel frames. The AGA consists of a developed penalty function …

Most of the existing methods for dam behavior modeling presuppose temporal immutability
of the modeled structure and require a persistent set of input parameters. In real-world …

In this article, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has been used to construct the wavelet
response spectrum analysis (WRSA) of structures in the linear elastic zone. For this purpose …
