This contribution introduces a new formulation of a classical Branch and Bound method to find global optima of truss sizing optimization problems enhanced with cables. Ou [...]

The problem of an inverse analysis occurs in many engineering tasks. The problem itself has several different forms and can be solved by many very distinct methods. In th [...]

In this paper we present an identification method of microplane model parameters from results of experiments in a uniaxial deformation on concrete. Novelties are usage of [...]

Space-Filling Design Strategies create an essential part of a surrogate modeling. Two main objectives are usually placed on the resulting designs - orthogonality and spac [...]

This article introduces results of Genetic Programming used for creation of experimental data approximations together with the search for significant parameters of an af [...]

Identification of material parameters of finite element nanoindentation model is discussed in this paper. Nanoindentation is relatively new experimental method, which a [...]

This paper presents discrete optimization of reinforced concrete structures based on an efficient combination of deterministic and stochastic optimization strategies. The [...]

Abstrakt: One of the main requests in engineering practice is to have an effective design procedure of a reinforced concrete continuous beam. This task is a multidimensio [...]
