A narrowband, guided-mode resonance (GMR)-based, bandpass filter is designed employing one of the powerful types of memetic algorithms known as the improved shuffled frog leaping algorithm. A high-quality filter with robust performance with a SOI...

hydraulic analysis of water distribution networks using a metaheuristicmethod called shuffled complex evolution (SCE) algorithm. In this method, applying if-then rules in the optimization model is a simple way in handling pressure-driven demand and leakage simulation...

Vehicle drivelines are lightly damped non-linear systems possessing many degrees of freedom

with dynamic interactions between the various subsystems. There are many sources of excitation

such as torsional ...

This study investigated the optimum parameters for a tuned mass damper (TMD) under the seismic excitation. Shuffled complex evolution (SCE) is a metaheurestic optimization method used to find the optimum damping and tuning frequency ratio for a TMD...

Vehicle drivelines with manual transmissions are exposed to different dynamic engine torques under driving conditions. Engine torque can dramatically vary with throttle demand from coast to drive

condition and, ...
