This book presents a comparative study on the static responses of the Euler-Bernoulli beam governed by nonlocal theories, including the Eringen’s stress-gradient beam theory, the Mindlin’s strain-gradient beam theory, the higher-order beam theory and the peridynamic beam theory. Benchmark examples are solved analytically and numerically using these nonlocal beam equations, including the sim…
Crossnumbers is one type of crossword puzzles. Crossnumbers puzzle board has many variations of boards based on figures compiled on the board that has intersection. Genetic algorithms are applied to determine shape of crossword puzzle board optimal. Initial population is formed by a random method. Next population uses operator in genetic algorithm, namely roulette wheel selection and cross-over…
