this study focuses on the optimization of the plane structure. sequential quadratic programming (sqp) will be utilized, which is one of the most efficient methods for solving nonlinearly constrained optimization problems. a new formulation for the second order sensitivity analysis of the two-dimensional finite element will be developed. all the second order required derivatives will be calculat...

‎selecting the most suitable robot among their wide range of specifications and capabilities is an important issue to perform the hazardous and repetitive jobs‎. ‎companies should take into consideration powerful group decision-making (gdm) methods to evaluate the candidates or potential robots versus the selected attributes (criteria)‎. ‎in this study‎, ‎a new gdm method is proposed by utilizi...

the inverse problem of identifying an unknown source control param- eter in a semilinear parabolic equation under an integral overdetermina- tion condition is considered. the series pattern solution of the proposed problem is obtained by using the weighted homotopy analysis method (wham). a description of the method for solving the problem and nding the unknown parameter is derived. finally, tw...
