The Optimization Algorithm for Large-Scale In Situ Stress Field by Fei Li, Ningdong Chang

“…For a real construction site, the amount of calculation using a finite element method for in situ stress field increases dramatically with the increase of the calculation freedom due to large-scale uncertainties. In order to reduce the computing cost without losing the accuracy of the calculation, an optimization algorithm combined with a reduced order model, which is realized by the proper orthogonal decomposition algorithm (POD) for large-scale in situ stress field, is put forward in this paper. …”

Geometry Optimisation of a Wave Energy Converter by Susana Costa, Jorge Ferreira, Nelson Martins

“…The results extracted and analysed from this software included forces in the six degrees of freedom. Under extreme wave conditions, the highest increase in the relative capture width between the initial and final shapes was around 0.2, corresponding to an increase from 0.36 to 0.54, while under average wave conditions, the increase only reached a value of around 0.02, corresponding to an increase from 0.22 to 0.24, as calculated through the relative capture width values.…”

Seismic Response and Evaluation of SDOF Self-Centering Friction Damping Braces Subjected to Several Earthquake Ground Motions by Jong Wan Hu, Myung-Hyun Noh

“…The configuration and response mechanism of self-centering friction damping brace systems are firstly described in this study, and then parametric investigations are conducted through nonlinear time-history analyses performed on numerical single degree-of-freedom spring models. After observing analysis results, adequate design methodologies that optimally account for recentering capability and energy dissipation according to their comparative parameters are intended to be suggested in order to take advantage of energy capacity and to minimize residual deformation simultaneously.…”
