Efficient and Robust Bi-directional Evolutionary Structural Optimisation Method for Large-scale Three-dimensional Topological Design. Structural optimisation is a process of searching for the best shape and topology of an engineering structure which will consume the least amount of material or energy. This project aims to further investigate the Bi-directional Structural Optimisation (BESO) method which has recently been proposed by the applicant's team. New algorithms will be developed to substantially improve the efficiency and robustness of the BESO method. The expected outcome of the project is a simple and effective optimisation technique that can be used for the conceptual design of a wide range of engineering structures.
