Engineering optimization is the subject of interest for many scientific research teams on a
global scale; it is a part of today's mathematical modelling and control of processes and …

In this work, the systematic validation of a deterministic finite element (FE) model updating
procedure for damage assessment is presented using a self-developed modular laboratory …

Conceptual design is crucial for designing offshore jacket substructures because it sets the
direction for the entire design process. Nevertheless, conventional simulation-based …

Most existing semi-analytical models to analyse multistable structures are based on the
principle of minimum potential energy, which inherently does not satisfy the in-plane …

Structural health monitoring has gained more and more interest over the recent decades. As
the technology has matured and monitoring systems are employed commercially, the …

Inputs to many real-world engineering problems feature epistemic uncertainty. This type of
uncertainty is frequently modelled by fuzzy values. Although fuzzy structural analyses have …

In this paper, a hybrid approach organized in four phases is proposed to solve the multi-
objective trajectory planning problem for industrial robots. In the first phase, a transcription of …

Over the last few decades, model updating has become popular in structural dynamics, as it
can be used to calibrate (finite element) models, with applications in assessing whether …

The offshore wind sector is mature and has led to standardized design methods for offshore
substructures. The conceptual design phase is critical for efficiency and cost-effectiveness …

Patching is a high-technology repair to preserve damaged jet engine blisks instead of
replacing them. The damaged portion of the blade is restored by welding a patch to the …
