As historical stone masonry structures are vulnerable and prone to damage in earthquakes, investigating their structural integrity is important to reduce injuries and casualties while preserving their historical value. Stone masonry is a composite material ...
In this paper, we propose a simple global optimisation algorithm inspired by Pareto’s principle. This algorithm samples most of its solutions within prominent search domains and is equipped with a self-adaptive mechanism to control the dynamic tightening o ...
We use spherical cap harmonic (SCH) basis functions to analyse and reconstruct the morphology of scanned genus-0 rough surface patches with open edges. We first develop a novel one-to-one conformal mapping algorithm with minimal area distortion for paramet ...
Detailed micromodel simulations of stone masonry walls require as input a 3D mesh that represents a realistic arrangement of stones in the masonry wall. In this paper, we constructed the first 3D masonry microstructures to derive 2D and 3D finite or discre ...
This code is part of the research paper: "Modified parameter-setting-free harmony search (PSFHS) algorithm for optimizing the design of reinforced concrete beams". C++14, Python 3.7 and Matlab codes for the modified PSFHS algorithm. Those files are placed ...
The design of RC members with nontraditional methods is demanding due to the large number of unknown variables inherent in the design process. The complexity of the RC beam design optimization problem has led to many oversimplified models, so that the curr ...
