… The process of locating delamination starts with the ratio between frequency shifts for
modes i and j, G / H . A grid of possible damage points is considered, and an error term is …

The main objective of this article is to present an overview of the modelling that has been
proposed by various workers in the field of smart or intelligent structures. Before the main …

Textile composite is one of the important materials used in industry and is made from textile
substrates embedded in the matrices of different materials (see ref. ). However, due to its …

… model with those in the fmal design of Figure 2.3G). It is seen that the huge gap between the
… One such FEA code is STRAND6 (G+D Computing 1993), which has been used as a FEA …

A simple evolutionary procedure is proposed for shape and layout optimization of structures.
During the evolution process low stressed material is progressively eliminated from the …

Describes development work to combine the basic ESO with the additive evolutionary structural
optimisation (AESO) to produce bidirectional ESO whereby material can be added and …

This paper presents a simple method for structural optimization with frequency constraints.
The structure is modelled by a fine mesh of finite elements. At the end of each eigenvalue …

TOPOLOGY optimization, in which the structural connectivity is sought in addition to the
member size and structural shape, has enjoyed rapid progress recently. Many efforts have been …

The evolutionary structural optimisation (ESO) method has been under continuous development
since 1992. Originally the method was conceived from the engineering perspective that …

… Optimization (ESO), has been proposed by Xie and Steven [5-7], which is based on the …
This idea has been further extended by Xie and Steven to frequency optimization problems […
