Bielefeldt B. Topology Optimization Via L-systems and Genetic Algorithms...2025

Textbook in PDF format 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, the book outlines how topology optimization can be 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. This will be the ideal resource for engineering practitioners, researchers, and students wanting to gain a new perspective on using topology optimization to improve product design. Evolutionary algorithms in general are applied to a wide range of application areas from engineering, to art, to biology, to physics, and others. In the field of structural topology optimization, these algorithms have been used to improve the exploration of complex search spaces. Relative to the previous discussion, evolutionary optimization algorithms are biological metaphors that can produce high quality designs by identifying, recombining, and enhancing the best features present in a continuously adapting population of individual designs. Throughout this book, we will only make use of Genetic Algorithms (GAs), taken to be those heuristic approaches that specifically apply the processes of selection, crossover, and mutation to sequential populations of designs such that new, and hopefully improved, generations continue to be generated
