The Biological Growth Method (BGM) is an efficient optimization approach suitable for the surface stress reduction in a specific mechanical component and allows us to obtain a more homogeneous stress distribution. This method mimics the way in which biological structures, such as tree trunks, bones and horns, evolve during their growth. The effectiveness of the BGM methodology, coupled with mesh morphing technique based on Radial Basis Functions (RBF), is presented here. Two cases are illustrated: the first referring to the growth of tree trunks under specific loads; the second referring to the optimization of an after-market component for high performances motorbikes.

Abstract
The Biological Growth Method (BGM) is an efficient optimization approach suitable for the surface stress reduction in a specific mechanical component and allows us to obtain a more homogeneous stress distribution. This method mimics the way in which biological structures, such as tree trunks, bones and horns, evolve during their growth. The effectiveness of the BGM methodology, coupled with mesh morphing technique based on Radial Basis Functions (RBF), is presented here. Two cases are illustrated: the first referring to the growth of tree trunks under specific loads; the second referring to the optimization of an after-market component for high performances motorbikes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
