A Review on BESO Algorithm Research and the Latest Developments

Abstract

As an efficient structural topology optimization method, the BESO algorithm plays a crucial role in enhancing structural performance and achieving rational resource allocation in engineering design, materials science, and other fields. This paper systematically reviews the principle, research status, and existing problems of the BESO algorithm. First, the basic principles and implementation methods of the BESO algorithm are classified, and the applicable scenarios, optimization efficiency, and limitations of each algorithm are summarized. The research progress in multi-physics field optimization, complex structural design, and other directions is deeply discussed. Finally, the conclusion is drawn that the current BESO algorithm still has shortcomings in global optimization capability, calculation efficiency, and multi-constraint condition handling. It is necessary to further improve the algorithm convergence mechanism, integrate intelligent optimization strategies, and construct a more universal and efficient optimization theoretical system to meet the complex optimization needs of engineering practice.
