... Continuous steel plate composite beam Shear lag effect Parametric analysis The double-main-girder steel plate composite beam comprises two I-shaped steel plate beams and concrete bridge decks interconnected by shear connectors, addressing issues inherent in traditional composite beams...

... of transpiration index with respect to five inputs Optimization Quantification Genetic algorithms Parametric analysis Therefore, this work shall introduce an application of GP to develop the function relationship of the transpiration index with respect to five inputs (root area, root biomass, stem...

... approach Parametric analysis Evolving computational resources contribute to the increasingly frequent use of mechanical contacts in numerical models. Mechanical contact between solid elastic bodies generates non-linearities that are difficult to take into account (Wriggers, 1995) and the controls...
