Framework for the Shape Optimization of Aerodynamic Profiles Using Genetic Algorithms
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
This study developed a framework for the shape optimization of aerodynamics profiles using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and genetic algorithms. Agenetic algorithm code and a commercial CFD code were integrated to ...
Design of an optimised wheel profile for rail vehicles operating on two track gauges
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-01)
This paper sets out an optimum synthesis methodology for wheel profiles of railway vehicles in order to secure good dynamic behaviour with different track configurations. Specifically, the optimisation process has been ...
Calibration patterns for predicting residual strengths of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC)
(Elsevier, 2013-11-12)
Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC), a composite construction material, needs reliable prediction and control techniques to promote its use in structural applications. The distribution and orientation of fibres within ...
Internal characterization and hole formation mechanism in the laser percussion drilling process
(Elsevier, 2013-09-09)
Laser percussion drilling is increasing its relevance in many industrial applications, being used particularly in the aircraft industry in performing the micro-holes in nickel based alloys turbine blades for cooling, or ...
