An efficient algorithm is presented for the formation of cycle bases of graphs corresponding to sparse cycle-member incidence matrices, leading to the formation of highly [...]

A water distribution network is an important component of an urban infrastructure (or an agricultural landscape as an irrigation project) and requires significant investm [...]

The paper is focused on damage identification of dynamically loaded structures using methods of soft computing including artificial intelligence. The damage and variabili [...]

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 [...]

An important phase of the bolt production is a bolt head trimming. It is a very fast, complicated process including material failure. For this reasons explicit solver LS- [...]

Abstrakt: The long-term behaviour of a crystalline rock has been modelled as a viscoplastic problem. The Perzyna type of material models, which is based on socalled overs [...]

Abstrakt: The procedure based on a traditional genetic algorithm (GA) is demonstrated on the price optimization of a vibrating block foundation. Unbalanced rotating mass [...]

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

The aim of the robot path planning is searching for a path from a start to a goal position without collisions with known obstacles minimizing length, difficulty and risk [...]

The problems of analysis, modelling and simulation of drive systems are solved on Institute of Mechanics of Solids for over 20 years. During that time period not only the [...]

Today the drive system is considered mainly as interactive system containing a range of subsystems with different physical nature: mechanical – the basic ones, electric [...]

In this paper, we deal with mobile robot path planning in a twodimensional continuous space in which known static polygonal obstacles are defined. The aim of the path pla [...]

Abstrakt: In this paper the authors propose the use of generic elements as a viable tool for parametric model-based damage detection. The parameters gained by use of gene [...]

The aim of the paper is to propose an integration of a genetic algorithm and case-based reasoning in robot motion planning in a partially known dynamic environment. The g [...]

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 [...]
