Abstract Real-world engineering design problems with complex objective functions under some constraints are relatively difficult problems to solve. Such design problems are widely experienced in many engineering fields, such as industry, automotive, construction, machinery, and interdisciplinary research. However, there are established optimization techniques that have shown effectiveness in addressing these types of issues. This research paper gives a comparative study of the implementation of seventeen new metaheuristic methods in order to optimize twelve distinct engineering design issues. The algorithms used in the study are listed as: transient search optimization (TSO), equilibrium optimizer (EO), grey wolf optimizer (GWO), moth-flame optimization (MFO), whale… More >

Abstract Blockchain technology has revolutionized conventional trade. The success of blockchain can be attributed to its distributed ledger characteristic, which secures every record inside the ledger using cryptography rules, making it more reliable, secure, and tamper-proof. This is evident by the significant impact that the use of this technology has had on people connected to digital spaces in the present-day context. Furthermore, it has been proven that blockchain technology is evolving from new perspectives and that it provides an effective mechanism for the intelligent transportation system infrastructure. To realize the full potential of the accurate and efficacious use of blockchain in… More >

Abstract With the development of the integration of aviation safety and artificial intelligence, research on the combination of risk assessment and artificial intelligence is particularly important in the field of risk management, but searching for an efficient and accurate risk assessment algorithm has become a challenge for the civil aviation industry. Therefore, an improved risk assessment algorithm (PS-AE-LSTM) based on long short-term memory network (LSTM) with autoencoder (AE) is proposed for the various supervised deep learning algorithms in flight safety that cannot adequately address the problem of the quality on risk level labels. Firstly, based on the normal distribution characteristics of… More >

Abstract Plain concrete is strong in compression but brittle in tension, having a low tensile strain capacity that can significantly degrade the long-term performance of concrete structures, even when steel reinforcing is present. In order to address these challenges, short polymer fibers are randomly dispersed in a cement-based matrix to form a highly ductile engineered cementitious composite (ECC). This material exhibits high ductility under tensile forces, with its tensile strain being several hundred times greater than conventional concrete. Since concrete is inherently weak in tension, the tensile strain capacity (TSC) has become one of the most extensively researched properties. As a… More >

Abstract Clay, as the most common soil used for foundation fill, is widely used in various infrastructure projects. The physical and mechanical properties of clay are influenced by the pore solution environment. This study uses a GDS static/dynamic triaxial apparatus and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments to investigate the effects of cyclic loading on clay foundations. Moreover, the development of cumulative strain in clay is analyzed, and a fitting model for cumulative plastic strain is introduced by considering factors such as NaCl solution concentration, consolidation stress ratio, and cycle number. In particular, the effects of the NaCl solution concentration and consolidation stress… More >

Abstract Ethereum, currently the most widely utilized smart contracts platform, anchors the security of myriad smart contracts upon its own robustness. Its foundational peer-to-peer network facilitates a dependable node connection mechanism, whereas an efficient data-sharing protocol constitutes as the bedrock of Blockchain network security. In this paper, we propose NodeHunter, an Ethereum network detector implemented through the application of simulation technology, which is capable of aggregating all node records within the network and the interconnectedness between them. Utilizing this connection information, NodeHunter can procure more comprehensive insights for network status analysis compared to preceding detection methodologies. Throughout a three-month period of… More >

Abstract Currently, individuals use online social media, namely Facebook or Twitter, for sharing their thoughts and emotions. Detection of emotions on social networking sites’ finds useful in several applications in social welfare, commerce, public health, and so on. Emotion is expressed in several means, like facial and speech expressions, gestures, and written text. Emotion recognition in a text document is a content-based classification problem that includes notions from deep learning (DL) and natural language processing (NLP) domains. This article proposes a Deer Hunting Optimization with Deep Belief Network Enabled Emotion Classification (DHODBN-EC) on English Twitter Data in this study. The presented… More >

Abstract Pavement crack detection plays a crucial role in ensuring road safety and reducing maintenance expenses. Recent advancements in deep learning (DL) techniques have shown promising results in detecting pavement cracks; however, the selection of relevant features for classification remains challenging. In this study, we propose a new approach for pavement crack detection that integrates deep learning for feature extraction, the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) for feature selection, and random forest (RF) for classification. The performance of the models was evaluated using accuracy, recall, precision, F1 score, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Our findings reveal that Model… More >
