Cables are present in many engineering fields such as bridges, elevators, cranes and ropeways. Due to their specific geometry and structure, they exhibit nonlinear proper [...]

The purpose of this study is to implement a powerful multi-objective (MO) genetic algorithm(GA)-based optimization technique for structural problems, based on the use of [...]

The car crash simulation describes the deformation of the car structure under high velocity (up to 65 km/h) during a very short simulation time (about 100 ms). The simula [...]

The study of structural damping due to frictional contact in the presence of bolt joint has become increasingly important for an accurate prediction of vibrational behavi [...]
