The Krigifier: A Procedure for Generating Pseudorandom Nonlinear Objective Functions for Computational Experimentation

OPTIMIZATION OF ENDURANCE TIME ACCELERATION FUNCTIONS FOR SEISMIC ASSESSMENT OF STRUCTURES

Numerical simulation of structural response is a challenging issue in earthquake engineering and there has been remarkable progress in this area in the last decade. Endurance Time (ET) method is a new response history based analysis procedure for seismic assessment and structural design in which structures are subjected to a gradually intensifying dynamic excitation and their seismic performanc...

A computational method for nonlinear mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations

In this article the nonlinear mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations are investigated by means of the modied three-dimensional block-pulse functions (M3D-BFs). This method converts the nonlinear mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations into a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. The illustrative   examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability and simplicity of our   scheme.
