  An experimental investigation on nano concrete mixed with graphene oxide for bubble deck void slab

  By Mohammed Omer Farooq, K.N.V. Chandrasekhar

  Abstract: Concrete is one of the material widely used in construction. Cement based concrete has great properties with high performance, its intrinsic brittleness is a weakness which needs further investigation. Several researchers in the past have used different materials to overcome this brittleness and over the past few years research has proven that addition of Graphene has improved mechanical properties like higher flexibility, Tensile strength, and Young’s Modulus. The experimental study …

  Isogeometric Topology Optimization of Continuum Structures using Evolutionary Algorithms

  By N.S S. Sahithi, K.N.V. Chandrasekhar, T. Muralidhara Rao

  Abstract: Isogeometric analysis is a popular method for the analysis of problems involving complex geometry and governed by differential equations. Meta-heuristics are widely used to determine the optimum distribution of material within the given design domain. The focus of this study is to perform isogeometric topology optimization of continuum structures using meta-heuristics nature inspired firefly algorithm. NURBS basis functions are used to construct the geometric model and to calculate the displacements …
