  title = {Bi-Directional Evolutionary Structural Optimization Method with Draw Direction Constraints},
  abstract = {<p>This paper proposes a new bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) method with draw direction constraints. Draw direction constraints, defined by required manufacturing process, are achieved by modifying element removal/addition criteria such that elements are removed from the top surface of the draw direction to the inner design domain. The optimized design with draw direction constraints is free from hollow or closed cavity geometries which are infeasible for manufacturing. A stiffness design of a motor front cover is carried out to show the ability of the proposed method in practical mechanical design problems.</p>
