Cost-effective modeling strategies for the analysis of spliced steel connections

The paper presents several cost-effective modeling strategies that can be used by structural engineers in practice to determine the stresses in the spliced members. The computational efficiency and the modeling effort required for the several modeling options are also discussed. The deformation mechanisms and load transfer for several types of connections are illustrated. Optimization techniques are also presented to economize the computer time for connections with large number of bolts. Results are presented to compare the accuracy of several modeling strategies commonly used in practice. It is shown that for eccentric connections, the flexural bending largely affect the maximum tensile and compressive stresses within the joint. The difference may reach up to 54%. Finally, Experimental comparisons are made with the numerical procedures for typical connection model.

A hybrid genetic algorithm for the container loading problem

This paper presents a hybrid genetic algorithm (GA) for the container loading problem with boxes of different sizes and a single container for loading. Generated stowage plans include several vertical layers each containing several boxes. Within the procedure, stowage plans are represented by complex data structures closely related to the problem. To generate offspring, specific genetic operators are used that are based on an integrated greedy heuristic. The process takes several practical constraints into account. Extensive test calculations including procedures from other authors vouch for the good performance of the GA, above all for problems with strongly heterogeneous boxes.

An empirical study of hybrid genetic algorithms for the set covering problem

The purpose of this paper is to explore the computational performance of several hybrid algorithms that are extensions of a basic genetic algorithm (GA) approach for solving the set covering problem (SCP). We start by making several enhancements to a GA for the SCP that was proposed by Beasley and Chu. Next, several hybrid solution approaches are introduced that combine the GA with various local neighbourhood search approaches, with a form of the greedy randomized adaptive search procedure, and with an estimation of distribution algorithms approach. Using Beasley's library of SCPs extensive computational results are generated for the hybrid solution approaches defined in this paper. Statistical analyses of the results are performed.

Nonstandard Finite Difference Schemes for Differential Equations

This paper gives an introduction to nonstandard finite difference methods useful for the construction of discrete models of differential equations when numerical solutions are required. While the general rules for such schemes are not precisely known at the present time, several important criterion have been found. We provide an explanation of their significance and apply them to several model ordinary and partial differential equations. The paper ends with a discussion of several outstanding problems in this area and other related issues.

Peg solitaire on graphs

There have been several papers on the subject of traditional peg solitaire on different boards. However, in this paper we consider a generalization of the game to arbitrary boards. These boards are treated as graphs in the combinatorial sense. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of several well-known families of graphs. In the major result of this paper, we show that the cartesian product of two solvable graphs is likewise solvable. Several related results are also presented. Finally, several open problems related to this study are given.
