1. Design and Performance Study of Single and Multi-Layered Fractal Based Miniaturized Patch Antennas for 2.4 GHz Applications
Abstract The design and characterization of single and multi-layered miniaturized microstrip antennas resonating at 2.4 GHz are proposed. The miniaturization is accomplished by fractal Defected Ground Structure (DGS). The DGS used for miniaturization is a Modified Minkowski Fractal DGS (M-MFDGS). The proposed size reduction process with M-MFDGS follows the s

2. Optimization of geometrically nonlinear truss structures under dynamic loading
Abstract The goal of this article is to present the formulation of the optimization problem of truss structures with geometric nonlinearity under dynamic loads and provide examples of this problem. The formulated optimization problem aims to determine the cross-sectional area of the bars that minimizes the weight of the structure, imposing constraints on nod

3. Optimization of shells modeled using NURBS subjected to a dynamic loading condition
Abstract This study presents an optimization method for the thickness of shell elements subjected to dynamic loads. Structural analyses were carried out using the finite element method. The analyzed domains were modeled using NURBS, and meshes were generated using a transformation of the parametric domain into the geometric domain via a geometric function. T

4. Structural reliability model considering mixed probabilistic and interval variables
Abstract Traditional probability-based structural reliability analysis method can only consider random uncertainties described by random distribution functions, which required sufficient experimental samples. On comparison, interval uncertainties can be more appropriate when lacking information. In realistic situations, several structural reliability models

6. SYNTHESIS OF SOLID CATALYST FROM DOLOMITE FOR BIODIESEL PRODUCTION USING PALM KERNEL OIL IN AN OPTIMIZATION PROCESS BY DEFINITIVE SCREENING DESIGN
Abstract A solid catalyst for biodiesel production was synthesized from dolomite by calcination at different temperatures of 800 and 900oC for 2 h. The catalyst was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET). Its performance in the production of palm kernel biodiesel (PKB) using palm kernel oil in an optimization stu

8. Review: deformation and optimisation crashworthiness method for foam filled structures
Abstract In this paper, we give overview of deformation modes for the uniform foam filled thin-walled structure such as circular tubes, square tubes, rectangular tubes, tapered tubes, hat tubes and cone tubes. Foam material is used as a reinforcing material on a thin wall tube which has potential as being a good energy absorber. This is evident from many of

9. Synthesis of New Reconfigurable Limited Size FSS Structures Using an Improved Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization
Abstract This paper describes a new design methodology for reconfigurable printed circuits with limited size, using an improved hybrid particle swarm optimization (HPSO) algorithm, reducing the search space by the definition of negative zones (NZ), regions where the swarm of particles should not travel. The proposed design methodology (HPSO-NZ) is used in th

10. STOCHASTIC DISCRETE LOT-SIZING WITH LEAD TIMES FOR FUEL SUPPLY OPTIMIZATION
ABSTRACT We address the problem of expected cost minimization of meeting the uncertain fuel demand during a time planning horizon, where supply is provided by selecting discrete shipments with lead times. Due to uncertainty and the passage of time, corrective actions can be taken such as cancellation and postponement on supply of shipments with associated co

12. Two-scale topology optimization of macrostructure and porous microstructure composed of multiphase materials with distinct Poisson’s ratios
Abstract Negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR) material attracts a lot of attentions for its unique mechanical properties. However, achieving NPR is at the expense of reducing Young’s modulus. It has been observed that the composite stiffness can be enhanced when blending positive Poisson’s ratio (PPR) material into NPR material. Based on the respective inter
