Estimation of Rubber Material Property by Successive Zooming Genetic Algorithm

The Successive Zooming Genetic Algorithm and Its Applications

Material property tests of Smooth-on Vytaflex60 liquid rubber

During the fall semester of the 2005-2006 academic year, I decided to try to produce some scale models of structural systems out of rubber. I had in mind to use these models to demonstrate structural behavior to undergraduate students, thinking that seeing models deform under load would be far more convincing than the standard line diagrams of deformed shapes that we typically use in engineerin...

A New Approach to Software Cost Estimation by Improving Genetic Algorithm with Bat Algorithm

Because of the low accuracy of estimation and uncertainty of the techniques used in the past to Software Cost Estimation (SCE), software producers face a high risk in practice with regards to software projects and they often fail in such projects. Thus, SCE as a complex issue in software engineering requires new solutions, and researchers make an effort to make use of Meta-heuristic algorithms ...

Tuning Shape Parameter of Radial Basis Functions in Zooming Images using Genetic Algorithm

Image zooming is one of the current issues of image processing where maintaining the quality and structure of the zoomed image is important. To zoom an image, it is necessary that the extra pixels be placed in the data of the image. Adding the data to the image must be consistent with the texture in the image and not to create artificial blocks. In this study, the required pixels are estimated ...
