Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling, Simulation and Optimization of Steel Sandwich Panels under Blast LoadingSayed M. Soleimani, Nader H. Ghareeb, Nourhan H. ShakerHoneycomb sandwich panels are commonly preferred in structural engineering as a design element meant to protect against blast loading, and this owes primarily to the fact that they are light in weight (due to the voids present) whilst carrying high energy absorption capacities. A widespread surge in acts of terrorism, and the resultant threat posed to structures, presents structural engineers … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 24 Aug 2018 · 7,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Multiple Tuned Mass Damper for Passive Control of Structures by Cuckoo AlgorithmHamid Jafari Nia, Amir Hossein Heidari, Hamid Reza Babaali, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariAdjustable mass dampers are recently used to reduce seismic vibrations of engineering structures. Function of these types of systems requires a suitable setting of their parameters. In this study, a practical method to design Multiple Tuned Mass Dampers (MTMD) has been proposed to minimize the maximum displacement of roof, acceleration of roof and TMDs displacement to reduce the seismic response … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 16 Jul 2020 · 7,392 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross-Section Optimization of Sandwich-Type Cylindrical Wind Turbine TowersStylianos M. Vernardos, Charis J. GantesAs wind energy is aggressively expanding within the alternative sources' part of modern world's energy pie, the need of addressing various obstacles that limit further wind utilization becomes all the more urgent. From a structural engineering point of view, surmounting the tower-base diameter limitation, dictated by the current transportation capabilities, is one of the industry's primary issues. The concept presented … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSOFTWARE PROCESS MATURITY AND CAPABILITY EVALUATION AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN THE AREAS OF E-LEARNING ORGANIZATIONSSenthilkumar Chennakrishnan, Midthe Vijayaraghavan SrinathA detailed literature review revealed that, most of the organizations develop their projects and associated software engineering activities using in-house established methods. There are discrete references in the literature on application of broad based scientific methods in designing and developing process capability and maturity models by software organizations. Documentation and extent of adherence to a well defined organized scientific method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 21 Dec 2013 · 6,830 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPossibility and Evidence-Based Reliability Analysis and Design OptimizationHong-Zhong Huang, Liping He, Yu Liu et al.Engineering design under uncertainty has gained considerable attention in recent years. A great multitude of new design optimization methodologies and reliability analysis approaches are put forth with the aim of accommodating various uncertainties. Uncertainties in practical engineering applications are commonly classified into two categories, i.e., aleatory uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty. Aleatory uncertainty arises because of unpredictable variation in the performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2013 · 7,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Optimal Load Sharing Technique For Grid ComputingD. Ramesh, A. KrishnanProblem statement: Grid and Cloud Computing is the fast growing industry, in which the grid computing shares the resources in the organization in an effective manner. Resource sharing requires more optimized algorithmic structure, otherwise the waiting time and response time are increased and the resource utilization is reduced. Approach: In order to avoid such reduction in the performances of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 29 May 2012 · 6,965 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariable Neighborhood Simplex Search Methods for Global Optimization ModelsPongchanun LuangpaiboonProblem statement: Many optimization problems of practical interest are encountered in various fields of chemical, engineering and management sciences. They are computationally intractable. Therefore, a practical algorithm for solving such problems is to employ approximation algorithms that can find nearly optimums within a reasonable amount of computational time. Approach: In this study the hybrid methods combining the Variable Neighborhood Search … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 15 Feb 2012 · 6,510 accessesView PDFCite
