    Harmonic Decomposition of Elastic Constant Tensor and Crystal Symmetry
    (2014) Dinçkal, Çiğdem
    This paper presents a new outlook on harmonic decomposition method for elastic constant tensor. Harmonic decomposition method is developed in such a way that it is applied to anisotropic engineering materials exhibiting different crystal symmetry. The explicit results for each crystal symmetry types are presented. Numerical examples serve to illustrate and verify the developed method. This new representation of elastic constant tensor is compared with other theories such as orthogonal and non-orthogonal irreducible decompositions in literature. The results demonstrate that there are significant relationships between harmonic, non-orthogonal irreducible and orthogonal irreducible decomposition methods. While in harmonic and non-orthogonal irreducible decomposition methods, decomposition of total scalar part is not orthogonal. It is proposed that it is possible to make these parts orthogonal to each other.

    Cuckoo Search Based Backcalculation Algorithm for Estimating Layer Properties of Full-Depth Flexible Pavements
    (Springer, 2021) Öcal, Arda; Pekcan, Onur
    This book highlights the basic concepts of the CS algorithm and its variants, and their use in solving diverse optimization problems in medical and engineering applications. Evolutionary-based meta-heuristic approaches are increasingly being applied to solve complicated optimization problems in several real-world applications. One of the most successful optimization algorithms is the Cuckoo search (CS), which has become an active research area to solve N-dimensional and linear/nonlinear optimization problems using simple mathematical processes. CS has attracted the attention of various researchers, resulting in the emergence of numerous variants of the basic CS with enhanced performance since 2019.
