To make a sustainable restoration of a historical centre it is necessary to understand, among other things, the materials used in the coatings of the buildings. In this w [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The paper follows-up our papers which were published in IM 2004, IM2005 and IM 2006 proceedings. We deal in this contribution with properties of the range channel of the [...]

Mortars developed for the reconstitution and plastic repair of natural stones have become increasingly more popular. They make a good alternative for the replacement of d [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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

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 [...]

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 [...]

Control design of rotating shaft levitated by active magnetic bearing is described in this contribution. Genetic algorithm is used to design controller parameters. Depend [...]

In this paper the authors presents the use of global optimization techniques as a viable tool for parametric model-based damage detection especially the application of ge [...]

Smart construction systems have been used for centuries in many places around the world, masonry is widely encountered in numerous heritage structures to be restored. For [...]
