Aiming to optimize the stiffened plate structures explicitly, a novel approach based on the MMC-solution framework is proposed in this work. All the stiffeners are represented under the Lagrangian-description framework in a fully explicit way, and the adaptive ground structure method, as well as dynamically updated shell elements, is used to obtain optimized designs with more accurate analysis results. Compared with previous methods, the proposed method has fewer design variables and can easily accomplish feature size control of the stiffeners. Various types of stiffened plate structures, including straight and curved stiffeners, hierarchical stiffeners, and stiffened plates with cutouts, can be optimized uniformly in this method. In addition, the optimized designs can be seamlessly imported into CAD systems without resorting to any post-processing process.

Abstract This paper proposes an explicit method for topology optimization of stiffened plate structures. The present work is devoted to simultaneously optimizing stiffeners’ shape, size and layout by seeking the optimal geometry parameters of a series of moving morphable components (MMC). The stiffeners with straight skeletons and the stiffeners with curved skeletons are considered to enhance the modeling and optimization capability of the current approach. All the stiffeners are represented under the Lagrangian-description framework in a fully explicit way, and the adaptive ground structure method, as well as dynamically updated plate/shell elements, is used to obtain optimized designs with more accurate… More >

Abstract Neutrosophic theory can effectively and reasonably express indeterminate, inconsistent, and incomplete information. Since Smarandache proposed the neutrosophic theory in 1998, neutrosophic theory and related research have been developed and applied to many important fields. Indeterminacy and fuzziness are one of the main research issues in the field of civil engineering. Therefore, the neutrosophic theory is very suitable for modeling and applications of civil engineering fields. This review paper mainly describes the recent developments and applications of neutrosophic theory in four important research areas of civil engineering: the neutrosophic decision-making theory and applied methods, the neutrosophic evaluation methods and applications of… More >

Abstract Traffic simulators are utilized to solve a variety of traffic-related problems. For such simulators, origin-destination (OD) traffic volumes as mobility demands are required to input, and we need to estimate them.

However, the simulation trials can be computationally expensive if full dynamic rerouting is allowed, when employing multi-agent-based models in the estimation process. This paper proposes an efficient OD estimation method using a multi-agent-based simulator with restricted dynamic rerouting to reduce the computational load. Even though, in the case of… More >

Abstract How to accelerate the convergence speed and avoid computing the inversion of a Jacobian matrix is important in the solution of nonlinear algebraic equations (NAEs). This paper develops an approach with a splitting-linearizing technique based on the nonlinear term to reduce the effect of the nonlinear terms.

Through the maximal orthogonal projection concept, to minimize a merit function within a selected interval of splitting parameters, the optimal parameters can be quickly determined.… More >

To prevent overfitting, in-depth features of facial images are extracted and assigned to the proposed convolutional neural network (CNN) models. Various CNN models are then trained.

The characteristic of this transformation is that the higher the consistency of the membership degrees in HFEs, the higher the credibility of the mentioned membership degrees is, then, the… More >

Abstract In this paper, a stable two-sided matching (TSM) method considering the matching intention of agents under a hesitant fuzzy environment is proposed. The method uses a hesitant fuzzy element (HFE) as its basis. First, the HFE preference matrix is transformed into the normalized HFE preference matrix. On this basis, the distance and the projection of the normalized HFEs on positive and negative ideal solutions are calculated. Then, the normalized HFEs are transformed into agent satisfactions. Considering the stable matching constraints, a multiobjective programming model with the objective of maximizing the satisfactions of two-sided agents is constructed. Based on the agent… More >

Abstract Smart contracts running on public blockchains are permissionless and decentralized, attracting both developers and malicious participants. Ethereum, the world’s largest decentralized application platform on which more than 40 million smart contracts are running, is frequently challenged by smart contract vulnerabilities. What’s worse, since the homogeneity of a wide range of smart contracts and the increase in inter-contract dependencies, a vulnerability in a certain smart contract could affect a large number of other contracts in Ethereum. However, little is known about how vulnerable contracts affect other on-chain contracts and which contracts can be affected. Thus, we first present the contract dependency… More >

Abstract Topological indices (TIs) have been practiced for distinct wide-ranging physicochemical applications, especially used to characterize and model the chemical structures of various molecular compounds such as dendrimers, nanotubes and neural networks with respect to their certain properties such as solubility, chemical stability and low cytotoxicity. Dendrimers are prolonged artificially synthesized or amalgamated natural macromolecules with a sequential layer of branches enclosing a central core. A present-day trend in mathematical and computational chemistry is the characterization of molecular structure by applying topological approaches, including numerical graph invariants. Among topological descriptors, Zagreb connection indices (ZCIs) have much importance. This manuscript involves the… More >

Abstract In this article, we developed sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of an approximate solution to
a nonlinear system of Lorenz equations under Caputo-Fabrizio fractional order derivative (CFFD). The required
results about the existence and uniqueness of a solution are derived via the fixed point approach due to Banach
and Krassnoselskii. Also, we enriched our work by establishing a stable result based on the Ulam-Hyers (U-H)
concept. Also, the approximate solution is computed by using a hybrid method due to the Laplace transform and
the Adomian decomposition method. We computed a few terms of the required solution through the… More >

Abstract One of the most recent developments in the field of graph theory is the analysis of networks such as Butterfly networks, Benes networks, Interconnection networks, and David-derived networks using graph theoretic parameters. The topological indices (TIs) have been widely used as graph invariants among various graph theoretic tools. Quantitative structure activity relationships (QSAR) and quantitative structure property relationships (QSPR) need the use of TIs. Different structure-based parameters, such as the degree and distance of vertices in graphs, contribute to the determination of the values of TIs. Among other recently introduced novelties, the classes of ev-degree and ve-degree dependent TIs have… More >

Abstract The structure optimization design under thermo-mechanical coupling is a difficult problem in the topology optimization field. An adaptive growth algorithm has become a more effective approach for structural topology optimization. This paper proposed a topology optimization method by an adaptive growth algorithm for the stiffener layout design of box type load-bearing components under thermo-mechanical coupling. Based on the stiffness diffusion theory, both the load stiffness matrix and the heat conduction stiffness matrix of the stiffener are spread at the same time to make sure the stiffener grows freely and obtain an optimal stiffener layout design. Meanwhile, the objectives of optimization… More >

Abstract In the shape analysis community, decomposing a 3D shape into meaningful parts has become a topic of interest. 3D
model segmentation is largely used in tasks such as shape deformation, shape partial matching, skeleton extraction,
shape correspondence, shape annotation and texture mapping. Numerous approaches have attempted to provide
better segmentation solutions; however, the majority of the previous techniques used handcrafted features, which
are usually focused on a particular attribute of 3D objects and so are difficult to generalize. In this paper, we propose
a three-stage approach for using Multi-view recurrent neural network to automatically segment a 3D shape into
