A methodology to predict key aspects of the structural response of masonry walls under blast loading using artificial neural networks (ANN) is presented in this paper. The failure patterns of masonry walls due to in and out-of-plane loading are complex d...

In this work, a new methodology for the dynamic analysis of non-linear systems is developed by applying the Mamdani fuzzy model. With this model, parameters such as settling time, peak time and overshoot will be obtained. The dynamic analysis of non-line...

The analysis of complex systems tends to be approached through a separation and a simplification of the main macro phenomena and, thus, addressed through dedicated techniques, tools, and algorithms. A smart and interesting possibility, instead, is repres...
