Graph neural network-based stress field prediction in stiffened panels
By jasmin jelovica on September 10, 2025
Our GNN-based approach for stress prediction effectively captures entire stress field in stiffened panels under various loadings and with wide geometrical variations. For more, please see: Y. Cai, J. Jelovica (2024) Efficient graph representation in graph neural networks for stress predictions in stiffened panels. Thin-Walled Structures, Vol. 203, 112157.
KATO: Neural-reparameterized topology optimization framework
By jasmin jelovica on September 10, 2025
Our novel neural-reparameterization for topology optimization generates stress-optimal structures by training a convolutional KAN network. The framework is completely data-free, outperforming MMA and CNN models. For more, see: S. Yan, J. Jelovica (2025) KATO: Neural-reparameterized topology optimization using convolutional Kolmogorov-Arnold network for stress minimization, International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Vol. 126:e70034,

Stress-based topology optimization of sandwich panel’s joints
By jasmin jelovica on February 27, 2022
Our recent paper in OMAE 2022 conference presents topology optimization of joints for prismatic sandwich panels. Stress is minimized for a range of material volume fractions. In comparison to conventional joint, maximum von Mises stress is reduced 2-3 times for a few loading scenarios.
Neural network-assisted constraint handling in evolutionary optimization algorithms
By jasmin jelovica on December 23, 2021
One of our research topics is on improving the performance of evolutionary (and swarm) optimization algorithms – here we propose a method to make them more efficient when dealing with complex structural problems.

Our long awaited group dinner finally happened on December 17, 2021.
Mechanics of multifunctional panels and materials
By jasmin jelovica on December 23, 2021
We work on modeling vibrations and buckling of orthotropic and anisotropic beams and plates. Structures in focus include prismatic sandwich panels, functionally graded solids, functionally graded porous materials and stiffened panels. Beside mechanical loads, we are modeling the effects of thermal loads that arise as a result of sudden temperature changes.
