A New Hybrid Optimization Method, Application to a Single Objective Active Flow Control Test Case
Applied Sciences, 2022 Genetic Algorithms (GA) are useful optimization methods for exploration of the search space, but they usually have slowness problems to exploit and converge to the minimum.

Applied Sciences, 2021 Many polymer-made objects show a trend of melting and dripping in fire, a behavior that may be modified by adding flame retardants (FRs). These affect materials properties, e.g., heat absorption and viscosity.

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2022 The possibilities of the particle finite element method (PFEM) for modeling geotechnical problems are increasingly evident. PFEM is a numerical approach to solve large displacement and large strain continuum problems that are beyond the capabilities of ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making ...

Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT We derive eigenvalue bounds for symmetric block‐tridiagonal multiple saddle‐point systems preconditioned with block‐diagonal Schur complement matrices. This analysis applies to an arbitrary number of blocks and accounts for the case where the Schur complements are approximated, generalizing the findings in [11, Bergamaschi et al., Linear ...

Traction Force Microscopy for Viscoelastic Substrates: A Semi‐Analytical Method
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.A semi‐analytical viscoelastic traction force microscopy framework is introduced for quantifying time‐resolved cell tractions on flat finite‐thickness substrates. The method generalizes elastic traction force microscopy to Generalized Maxwell materials, identifies when elastic approximations remain valid and, when they do not, shows that inferred ...
