Test Machine Effect in the determination of modulus of elasticity for strength-graded timber (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gil-Moreno, D., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Harte, A. M. (2021, August). Test Machine Effect in the determination of modulus of elasticity for strength-graded timber. Presented at WCTE 2021: World Conference on Timber Engineering, Santiago, Chile [Online]

This paper investigates if the relationship between the global and local moduli of elasticity (MoE), measured in bending tests, is affected by the test machines employed, and how that may influence strength grading.

A Neural Approach to Generation of Constructive Heuristics (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alissa, M., Sim, K., & Hart, E. (2021, June). A Neural Approach to Generation of Constructive Heuristics. Presented at IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation 2021, Kraków, Poland (online)

Both algorithm-selection methods and hyper-heuristic methods rely on a pool of complementary heuristics. Improving the pool with new heuristics can improve performance, however, designing new heuristics can be challenging. Methods such as genetic pro...
