Decision supported
Compare feasible cable-force solutions in a numerical bridge benchmark.
Engineering record
Published author order: Mascolo, Sarfarazi, Modano. Numerical benchmark only; no commissioned bridge retensioning or field intervention is claimed.
Compare numerical cable-force solutions under structural constraints.
Context: Bridge structural engineering.
Research co-author
Influence-operator and bounded optimisation methods explore feasible cable-force solutions with constraint, symmetry and smoothness handling. Numerical comparison and robustness studies belong to a bridge benchmark; they do not document a field retensioning intervention.
Supplied research files support the scope shown. Authorship is distinguished from personal ownership of every dataset, test or model; an interface is not proof of current deployment.
No universal accuracy, engineering approval or field benefit is inferred from a selected output. Model domains and independent checks must be established for a new assignment.
