Seeking to define more robust and executable structures, this article presents a computational framework for the optimal design of steel truss frames, which integrates two software of great prominence ...

Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a class of heuristic algorithms proposed to solve optimization problems. The idea was inspired by the behavior of real ants, related to their ability to find the ...

Abstract: Free Space Optical (FSO) communication systems are used to transmit high data rates over short distances through the atmosphere. However, the performance of FSO communication links can be ...

Multilayer medium is one of the most studied objects in an electromagnetic field. In this paper, the problem of genetic algorithm design for multilayer microwave absorbing materials is studied. By ...
