Reaction-diffusion equations represent many important and critical applications in engineering and science. Numerical techniques play an important role for solving such equations accurately and efficiently. This paper presents a brief review of meshless methods for solving general diffusion equations, including reaction-diffusion systems

NEURAL NETWORKS AND EVOLUTIONARY OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN FATIGUE LIFE ASSESSMENT OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS-A BRIEF REVIEW

Modeling of fatigue life of composite materials under various loading and environment conditions becomes important and challenging task from viewpoint of performance and reliability as it forms a basis for lifetime assessment of composite structures under complex variable state of stress. Application of soft computing techniques as new approach and route for modelling of composite material fatigue lives has attracted a great interest recently. The applications of soft computing techniques in fatigue life assessment of composite materials are reviewed and discussed in this paper
