    RADIO FREQUENCY HEATING OF IMPLANTED TISSUE ENGINEERED SCAFFOLDS: SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES

    Mohammad Izadifara,b,*, Xiongbiao Chena,b

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.3, No.4, pp. 1-7, 2012, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v3.4.3004

    Abstract Heat can be potentially used for accelerating biodegradation of implanted tissue engineered scaffolds. Cyclic and continuous radio frequency (RF) heating was applied to implanted chitosan and alginate scaffolds at 4 applied voltages, 3 frequencies, and 2 thermally conditioning environments. A 3D finite element model was developed to simulate the RF treatment. A uniform RF heating was achieved at the scaffold top. For alginate, voltage was the only significant RF heating factor while both frequency and voltage significantly affected RF heating of chitosan. Less temperature gradient across the scaffold was achieved at a conditioning environment at <30°C. Surrounding tissue was insignificantly… More >

    Sharaf Alzoubi1, Laith Abualigah2,3,4,5,6,7,8,*, Mohamed Sharaf9, Mohammad Sh. Daoud10, Nima Khodadadi11, Heming Jia12

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 2557-2604, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.045170

    Abstract This research paper presents a novel optimization method called the Synergistic Swarm Optimization Algorithm (SSOA). The SSOA combines the principles of swarm intelligence and synergistic cooperation to search for optimal solutions efficiently. A synergistic cooperation mechanism is employed, where particles exchange information and learn from each other to improve their search behaviors. This cooperation enhances the exploitation of promising regions in the search space while maintaining exploration capabilities. Furthermore, adaptive mechanisms, such as dynamic parameter adjustment and diversification strategies, are incorporated to balance exploration and exploitation. By leveraging the collaborative nature of swarm intelligence and integrating synergistic cooperation, the SSOA… More >

    A Comparative Study of Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithms for Solving Real-World Engineering Design Problems

    Elif Varol Altay, Osman Altay, Yusuf Özçevik*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.1, pp. 1039-1094, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029404

    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 >

    An Innovative Deep Architecture for Flight Safety Risk Assessment Based on Time Series Data

    Hong Sun1, Fangquan Yang2, Peiwen Zhang3,*, Yang Jiao4, Yunxiang Zhao5

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.3, pp. 2549-2569, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.030131

    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 >

    Effect of NaCl Concentration on the Cumulative Strain and Pore Distribution of Clay under Cyclic Loading

    Xinshan Zhuang*, Shunlei Xia, Ruijie Pan

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.2, pp. 447-461, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.042220

    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 >

    Automated Pavement Crack Detection Using Deep Feature Selection and Whale Optimization Algorithm

    Shorouq Alshawabkeh, Li Wu*, Daojun Dong, Yao Cheng, Liping Li, Mohammad Alanaqreh

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.1, pp. 63-77, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.042183

    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 >
