A finite element method with composite shape functions

Alireza Sadeghirad, Ali Vaziri Astaneh

The purpose of this paper is to present the composite finite element method (CFEM), with Cⁿ(n≥0) continuity so it improves the accuracy of the finite element method (FEM) for…

Hybrid charged system search and particle swarm optimization for engineering design problems

A. Kaveh, S. Talatahari

Meta‐heuristic methods are powerful in obtaining the solution of optimization problems. Hybridizing of the meta‐heuristic algorithms provides a scope to improve the searching…
