Topology Optimization Via L-systems and Genetic Algorithms : Bioinspired Encoding for Generative Design, Hardcover by Bielefeldt, Brent R.; Hartl, Darren J.; Kobayashi, Marcelo H., ISBN 1316515796, ISBN-13 9781316515792, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

"Providing a succinct overview of Lindenmayer system (L-system) topology optimization, this book focuses on the methods and theory underlying this novel bioinspired approach. Starting from basic principles, th outlines how topology optimization canbe utilized at the conceptual design stage and shows how it offers straightforward applicability to multi-objective and/or multi-physical industrial problems. Design strategies are clearly demonstrated using a host of case studies and real-world examples, and their potential challenges and solutions are discussed. Written from an optimization and design perspective, the authors both summarize the latest advances in this field and suggest potential avenues of research and development for future work. Thiswill be the ideal resource for engineering practitioners, researchers, and students wanting to gain a new perspective on using topology optimization to improve product design"-- Provided by publisher.
