in recent years, the trend in solving optimization problems has been directed toward using heuristic algorithms such as neural networks, genetic and ant colony algorithms. the main reason for this trend can be attributed to the fact that these algorithms can be efficiently adjusted to the specific search space to which they are applied and consequently they can be used for many optimization pro...

in this paper, a mathematical modeling is developed for plastic analysis of planar frames. to this end, the researcher tried to design an optimization model in linear format in order to solve large scale samples. the computational result of cpu time requirement is shown for different samples to prove efficiency of this method for large scale models. the fundamental concept of this model is obta...

In a previous companion paper (Part I: A Plastic Hinge Approach), adaptive elasto-plastic analysis of space frames was discussed in the context of a plastic hinge approach. The present paper extends the concept of automatic mesh refinement to deal with accurate elasto-plastic large displacement analysis accounting for the spread of yield within structural members. This is achieved through the u...

This case report presents an implant-aided prosthetic treatment in which peri-implant plastic surgery techniques were applied in combination to satisfactorily attain functional aesthetic expectations. Peri-implant plastic surgery enables the successful reconstruction and restoration of the balance between soft and hard tissues and allows the option of implant-aided fixed prosthetic rehabilitation.

In this paper, an incremental technique based on cyclic loading is developed to implement shakedown analysis for soils in the framework of elastic-plastic analysis without utilization of the classical shakedown theorems. A finite element model together with the use of ABAQUS is established for soil structures subjected to cyclic loads, where the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion with associated plas...

BACKGROUND Plastic and cosmetic surgery is a new branch deriving from plastic surgery. Although several studies concerning advances in plastic and cosmetic surgeries have been reported, most literatures focus on specific diagnosis and treatment technology, but not the overall progress. AIM We attempt to use bibiometric analysis to investigate main research hotspots at home and abroad, outstan...

an evolutionary structural optimization (eso) method is used for plastic design of frames. based on safe theorems some criteria are derived and made an effort to satisfy them during the optimization process. in this regard, equilibrium is checked and yield condition is gradually satisfied during the optimization process. in this method, the amount of used material and the stiffness for each ele...

In this paper, accumulation of plastic deformation of AISI 1045 steel plates with circular cutouts under cyclic axial loading is studied. Loading was applied under force-control conditions. Experimental tests were performed using a Zwick/Roell servo hydraulic machine. Under force-control loading with nonzero mean force, plastic strain was accumulated in continuous cycles called ratcheting. Nume...
