Abstract: In this paper, a new approach for the computation of the weight matrix of a Hopfield neural network for resource leveling is introduced. The proposed method achieves significantly improved efficiency over the conventional ...

Abstract: Sandwich panels made of thin skins and a lightweight core expand and/or bow when subjected to temperature changes. The significance of induced thermal stresses in the panels depends on material properties. The effects of ...

Abstract: Evaluating the overall performance of buildings has emerged as a trend in building engineering in recent years. Several programs that evaluate building performance have been developed or are being developed in different ...

Abstract: The stability of shallow, artificial underground cavities in soft rocks interacting with overlying structures and infrastructures represents a challenging problem to be faced. This paper discusses a methodology that can ...
