Application of fuzzy models for the monitoring of ecologically sensitive ecosystems in a dynamic semi‐arid landscape from satellite imagery
Meng‐Lung Lin, Cheng‐Wu ChenThe purpose of this paper is to better understand landscape dynamics in arid and semi‐arid environments. Land degradation has recently become an important issue for land…
Analysis of some partitioned algorithms for fluid‐structure interaction
R. Rossi, E. OñateThe purpose of this paper is to analyse algorithms for fluid‐structure interaction (FSI) from a purely algorithmic point of view.
Plastic‐damage analysis of reinforced concrete frames
J. Faleiro, S. Oller, A.H. BarbatThe purpose of this paper is to develop an improved analytical model for predicting the damage response of multi‐storey reinforced concrete frames modelled as an elastic…
Simulation and probabilistic failure prediction of grafts for aortic aneurysm
Ron Layman, Samy Missoum, Jonathan Vande GeestThe use of stent‐grafts to canalize aortic blood flow for patients with aortic aneurysms is subject to serious failure mechanisms such as a leak between the stent‐graft…
Computation of heat transfer and fluid flow in an obstructed channel using lattice Boltzmann method
Mohamed Amine Moussaoui, Mohamed Jami, Ahmed Mezrhab, Hassan NajiThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the laminar flow and heat transfer characteristics in a two‐dimensional horizontal channel with two square blocks placed…
A hybrid ant colony optimization algorithm for solving facility layout problems formulated as quadratic assignment problems
Kuan Yew Wong, Phen Chiak SeeThis paper aims to describe a new hybrid ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm developed to solve facility layout problems (FLPs) formulated as quadratic assignment…
Modelling of hydro‐fracture flow in porous media
Mauricio Centeno Lobão, Rob Eve, D.R.J. Owen, Eduardo Alberto de Souza NetoThe mechanical response of the skeleton of a porous medium is highly dependent on its seepage behaviour as pore pressure modifications affect the in situ stress field. The…
An improved ant colony optimization for constrained engineering design problems
A. Kaveh, S. TalatahariThe computational drawbacks of existing numerical methods have forced researchers to rely on heuristic algorithms. Heuristic methods are powerful in obtaining the solution…
