Evolutionary Topology Optimization of Continuum StructuresEvolutionary Topology Optimization of Continuum Structures treads new ground with a comprehensive study on the techniques and applications of evolutionary structural optimization (ESO) and its later version bi directional ESO (BESO) methods. Since the ESO method was first introduced by Xie and Steven in 1992 and the publication of their well known book Evolutionary Structural Optimization in 1997, there have been significant improvements in the
