In this paper a new hybrid glowworm swarm algorithm (SAGSO) for solving structural optimization problems is presented. The structure proposed to be optimized here is a simply-supported concrete I-beam ...

A dead satellite can become a high-speed hazard in an orbit that is already packed with working spacecraft. That risk is why engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder are building what sounds ...

The RC Beam Designer application is built with a modern, lightweight front-end stack to ensure fast performance, maintainability, and compatibility across platforms. Provides a real-time graphical ...

School of Mechanical Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece. A Google Scholar search for the term “Timoshenko beam” currently yields approximately 127,000 results—an ...

We demonstrate a novel approach to X-ray ptychography, a phase-sensitive scanning microscopy method. By replacing the conventional sample scanning approach with a beam-scanning via reflective optics, ...

The second-order analysis of slender steel members can be challenging, particularly when large deflections are involved. This research introduces a novel Machine Learning-based Structural Analysis ...

Last year, we made an intriguing discovery – a radio signal in space that switched on and off every 18 minutes. Astronomers expect to see some repeating radio signals in space, but they usually blink ...

Electron beam techniques are indispensable tools for the analysis of surfaces in fundamental as well as applied fields of science and technology. Significant improvements have been made in the past ...
