In recent years, the optimization of truss structures has been considered due to their several applications and their simple structure and rapid analysis. DNA computing algorithm is a non-gradient-based method derived from numerical modeling of DNA-based computing performance by new computers with DNA memory known as molecular computers. DNA computing algorithm works based on collective intelli...

Rangka batang (truss) adalah sistem struktural yang terdiri dari sejumlah bagian (batang), masing-masing diyakini bertindak sebagai sambungan pada simpulnya dan hanya dapat menahan gaya aksial. Pengukuran gaya-gaya rangka sederhana (truss apparatus) merupakan salah satu modul dalam Praktikum Fenomena Dasar Mesin. ini bertujuan agar mahasiswa mampu memahami perhitungan parameter-parameter pentin...

In this study an efficient meta-heuristic is proposed for layout optimization of truss structures by combining cellular automata (CA) and firefly algorithm (FA). In the proposed meta-heuristic, called here as cellular automata firefly algorithm (CAFA), a new equation is presented for position updating of fireflies based on the concept of CA. Two benchmark examples of truss structures are presen...

Fragility curves represent the probabilities that structural damages, under various levels of seismic excitation, will exceed the specified damage states by means of earthquake intensity damage relations. Conceptual aspects related to seismic vulnerability, damage and risk evaluation are discussed first, together with a short review of the most widely used possibilities for the seismic evaluati...
