The forced vibration behaviors are examined for nonlocal strain gradient nanobeams with surface effects subjected to a moving harmonic load travelling with a constant velocity in terms of three beam models namely, the Euler-Bernoulli, Timoshenko and modified Timoshenko beam models. The modification for nonlocal strain gradient Timoshenko nanobeams is exerted to the constitutive equations by exc...

A Quasi Oppositional Gray Wolf Optimization (QOGWO) algorithm has been used in this work to decipher the economic load dispatch of hydrothermal system. Dynamic problem involves scheduling committed generators meet demand with minimum fuel cost and several constraints which are dynamic nature. It is basically short-term (STHS) problems through cascaded reservoirs. Instead pseudo-random numbers q...

The objective of the presented research is to develop an efficient control system for highway load effects that involves the control of various parameters including: truck weight (axle weights and axle spacing), truck load distribution on bridge girders, dynamic load, strain, stress and deflection of bridge components, and verification procedure for the minimum load carrying capacity. This stud...

In this paper an attempt has been made to determine Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) using Hybrid (FF-DE) and FF techniques. The methods for ELD evaluation are developed considering fuel cost of the system. Economic Load Dispatches are calculated using FF-DE technique without violating the reactive power constraints of the system. Most of the studies related to ELD use traditional methods based on ...
