    Analysis and Optimization of Dynamically Loaded Reinforced Plates by the Coupled Boundary and Finite Element Method

    P. Fedelinski1, R. Gorski1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 31-40, 2006, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2006.015.031

    Abstract The aim of the present work is to analyze and optimize plates in plane strain or stress with stiffeners subjected to dynamic loads. The reinforced structures are analyzed using the coupled boundary and finite element method. The plates are modeled using the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DR-BEM) and the stiffeners using the finite element method (FEM). The matrix equations of motion are formulated for the plate and stiffeners. The equations are coupled using conditions of compatibility of displacements and equilibrium of tractions along the interfaces between the plate and stiffeners. The final set of… More >

    Mining of Data from Evolutionary Algorithms for Improving Design Optimization

    Y.S. Lian1, M.S. Liou2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.8, No.1, pp. 61-72, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.008.061

    Abstract This paper focuses on integration of computational methods for design optimization based on data mining and knowledge discovery. We propose to use radial basis function neural networks to analyze the large database generated from evolutionary algorithms and to extract the cause-effect relationship, between the objective functions and the input design variables. The aim is to improve the optimization process by either reducing the computation cost or improving the optimal. Also, it is hoped to provide designers with the salient design pattern about the problem under consideration, from the physics-based simulations. The proposed technique is applied More >
