This paper proposes an efficient reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) method that
advantageously decouples comprehensive learning particle swarm optimization (CLPSO) …

The maximum jump height after ice-shedding must be determined to avoid jumps in
transmission lines caused by ice-shedding, which can result in interphase flashovers and …

Resided at the intersection of multi-fidelity optimization (MFO) and Bayesian optimization
(BO), MF BO has found a niche in solving expensive engineering design optimization …

In this paper, an experimental–numerical-virtual (ENV) modelling technique for the FRP
composite laminate structures subjected to low-velocity impact loading is presented. The …

In this study, a two-stage structural optimization method is presented for multistory steel
frames with semi-rigid connections. Based on the traditional optimization result in the first …

Properly modeling the cyclic elastoplastic behavior of structural steels is essential for
establishing accurate analyses of structures subjected to earthquake excitation. However …

Engineering design optimization problems increasingly require computationally expensive
high-fidelity simulation models to evaluate candidate designs. The evaluation budget may …

Fail-safe robustness is an important design philosophy for critical structural systems such as
airframes. The basic idea of fail-safe design is that a structure should be designed to survive …

Bridge hangers, such as those in suspension and cable-stayed bridges, suffer from
cumulative fatigue damage caused by dynamic loads (eg, cyclic traffic and wind loads) in …

Despite its importance in seismic response analysis, solving an inverse problem to identify
the cyclic elastoplastic parameters for structural steels using conventional optimization …
