Structure of shape derivatives around irregular domains and applications

Presentation of Empirical Relation for the Fundamental Period of Irregular Steel Frames with EBF Steel Braces

Developments in the field of Structure and Earthquake Engineering and also consequences of earthquakes have been led to develop some continually changes and improvement of seismic regulations around the world. In regards to seismicity of Iran, it is necessary and also possible to review and edit the Seismic Regulations of Iran and compare it with the other countries; so it seems that a comparat...

Estimates of First and Second Order Shape Derivatives in Nonsmooth Multidimensional Domains and Applications

Chitin and Chitosan: Structure, Properties and Applications

Chitin and chitosan are the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide that are non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible. They have become of great interest not only as an underutilized resource, but also as a new functional material of high potential in various fields. They are biopolymers having immense structural possibilities for chemical and mechanical modifications to generate novel pro...

Image alignment via kernelized feature learning

Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence that is able to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. The primary assumption for most of the machine learning algorithms is that the training set (source domain) and the test set (target domain) follow from the same probability distribution. However, in most of the real-world application...

Second order sensitivity analysis for shape optimization of continuum structures

This study focuses on the optimization of the plane structure. Sequential quadratic programming (SQP) will be utilized, which is one of the most efficient methods for solving nonlinearly constrained optimization problems. A new formulation for the second order sensitivity analysis of the two-dimensional finite element will be developed. All the second order required derivatives will be calculat...
