Biologically inspired soft computing methods in structural mechanics and enginering
Jamshid Ghaboussi(U.S.A.)
Abstract
Modern soft computing methods, such as neural networks, evolutionary models and fuzzylogic, are mainly inspired by the problem solving strategies the biological systems use in nature. As such,the soft computing methods are fundamentally different from the conventional engineering problemsolving methods, which are based on mathematics. In the author
