... is replaced with neural network to expedite the computations of the forward problem. For the inverse approach, genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are applied to estimate the unknown parameters. Eventually, a hybrid algorithm is proposed by combining PSO with Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb...

... the anti-symmetric shear stress/strain field is linear. This paper aims at enhancing the bending response of lower-order elements for Cosserat elasticity problems. Design/methodology/approach A four-node quadrilateral and an eight-node hexahedron are formulated by hybrid-stress approach. The symmetric...

...M.F. Boseman; Y.W. Kwon; D.C. Loup; E.A. Rasmussen Purpose In order to connect a fiberglass composite structure to a steel structure, a hybrid composite made of glass and steel fibers has been studied. The hybrid composite has one end section with all glass fibers and the opposite end section...
