Structural failures in recent earthquakes and hurricanes have exposed the weakness of current design procedures and shown the need for new concepts and methodologies for building performance evaluation and design. A central issue is proper consideration and treatment of the large uncertainty in the loadings and the complex building behavior in the nonlinear range in the evaluation and design pr...

The manufacturing of hybrid composites has an important impact on the final structural properties. Manufacturing induced defects influence mechanical performance and thus need to be considered for design. In this contribution, we present a data-driven approach analysis metal-plastic composites. Based numerical analyses, surrogate model based Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Machine Learning is d...

The quantity of plastic parts in mechanical and electronic industry during past 2-3 decades has a tendency to grow up. Mechatronics systems, in particular, apply many parts of plastic materials. A plastic, which is one of the most versatile materials in the modern age, is widely used because this is an easiest way to get parts of complicated geometrical form and properties. The injection moldin...
