Abstrakt: The dimensioning of the metal-diaphragm depends on the maximum measured pressure and on necessary preload. Classic methods of elasticity were used to get some p [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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

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

Presented paper is concerned with the numerical modeling of quasibrittle materials such as concrete. Brancherie and Ibrahimbegovic are authors of a simple model capable o [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 paper aims to evaluate effective properties of a solid phase of metal foam on the level of a few microns. Basic principles of micromechanics are applied to the experi [...]

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 [...]
