Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModeling, 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 · 7,863 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Routing Optimization Based on Cross-Layer Design for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs)Emansa Hasri Putra, Risanuri Hidayat, Widyawan, Wayan MustikaMultimedia applications are routed from source nodes via neighboring nodes to a sink in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs). However, the existing routing protocols in the WMSNs do not fulfill the quality of service (QoS) constraint yet for multimedia transmission. The WMSNs have specific characteristics such as multi-hop way, limited node capability and varying bandwidth, which can affect the quality … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2017 · 7,401 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnt Colony Optimization Approaches in Wireless Sensor Network: Performance EvaluationHusna Jamal Abdul Nasir, Ku Ruhana Ku-Mahamud, Eiji KamiokaWireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been widely implemented in large sectors such as military, habitat, business, industrial, health and environment. WSN is part of a distributed system where elements such as routing, load balancing, energy efficiency, node localization, time synchronization, data aggregation and security need to be addressed to improve its efficiency, robustness, extendibility, applicability and reliability. Despite multiple approaches … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 24 Jun 2017 · 8,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimization of Process Conditions for the Production of Holocellulase by a Bacillus Species Isolated from Nahoon Beach SedimentsEvelyn N. Fatokun, Uchechukwu U. Nwodo, Ademola O. Olaniran, Anthony I. OkohProduction of holocellulase by a newly isolated marine Bacillus species via submerged fermentation technique at varying cultivation conditions was investigated. Enzyme production was optimized by altering one variable per time. Moreover effect of lignocellulosic saccharides in inducing cellulase and xylanase production was also investigated. The 16S ribosomal Deoxyribonucleic Acid (16S rDNA) gene sequence analysis exhibited 98% sequence similarity of the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 8 Apr 2017 · 8,034 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStiffened Panels Damage Tolerance Determination using an Optimization Procedure based on a Linear Delamination Growth ApproachAniello Riccio, Francesco Di Caprio, Francesco Scaramuzzino et al.The damage tolerance of delaminated composite panels under compressive load is usually numerically evaluated by means of computationally expensive non-linear approaches. In this study, an alternative numerical linear approach, able to mimic the delamination propagation initiation, is proposed. With the aim to exploit its benefits, in terms of computational costs reduction, the proposed linear methodology has been used in this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2016 · 7,302 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMulti-Objective Optimization of FRP Jackets for Improving the Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete FramesCorrado Chisari, Chiara BedonIn this study, a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization procedure is proposed for the seismic retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete (RC) building frames via Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) jackets. The optimization problem is solved via numerically efficient but accurate Finite-Element (FE) models able to take into account the strengthening and ductility increase contribution for a given FRP jacketing configuration. Based on a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 27 Sep 2016 · 8,832 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMaximally Distant Codes Allocation Using Chemical Reaction Optimization and Ant Colony Optimization AlgorithmsTaisir Eldos, Waleed Nazih, Aws KananError correcting codes, also known as error controlling codes, are set of codes with redundancy that allows detecting errors. This is quite useful in transmitting data over a noisy channel or when retrieving data from a storage with possible physical defects. The idea is to use a set of code words that are maximally distant from each other, hence reducing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 5 Nov 2015 · 7,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMulti-Objective Evolutionary Optimization of Sandwich Structures: An Evaluation by Elitist Non-dominated Sorting Evolution StrategyIlyani Akmar, A.B, O. Kramer, T. RabczukIn this study, an application of evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms on the optimization of sandwich structures is presented. The solution strategy is known as Elitist Non-Dominated Sorting Evolution Strategy (ENSES) wherein Evolution Strategies (ES) as Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) in the elitist Non-dominated Sorting Genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) procedure. Evolutionary algorithm seems a compatible approach to resolve multi-objective optimization problems because it … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 7,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnt Colony Optimization for Load Management Based on Load Shifting in the Textile IndustryChaimongkon Chokpanyasuwan, Tika Bunnag, Ratthasak PrommasThe textile industry is a complicated manufacturing industry because it is a fragmented and heterogeneous sector dominated by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). There are various energy-efficiency opportunities that exist in every textile plant. However, even cost-effective options often are not implemented in textile plants mostly because of limited information on how to implement energy-efficiency measures. This paper presents the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 9 Apr 2015 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA ROBUST OPTIMIZATION APPROACH FOR INDEX TRACKING PROBLEMMohsen Gharakhani, Forough Zarea Fazlelahi, S. J. SadjadiIndex tracking is an investment approach where the primary objective is to keep portfolio return as close as possible to a target index without purchasing all index components. The main purpose is to minimize the tracking error between the returns of the selected portfolio and a benchmark.
