In this paper a Bacterial Chemotaxis shape optimization algorithm is presented for the optimal design of electromagnetic devices. The Bacterial Chemotaxis Algorithm exploits the conceptual analogy between bacteria and mesh nodes, improving the devices performance by moving the specific mesh nodes/bacteria defining the shape in the same way the bacteria move toward regions presenting better life conditions. Validation tests are also presented in order to show the performance of the developed shape optimizer.

Abstract
In this paper a Bacterial Chemotaxis shape optimization algorithm is presented for the optimal design of electromagnetic devices. The Bacterial Chemotaxis Algorithm exploits the conceptual analogy between bacteria and mesh nodes, improving the devices performance by moving the specific mesh nodes/bacteria defining the shape in the same way the bacteria move toward regions presenting better life conditions. Validation tests are also presented in order to show the performance of the developed shape optimizer.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
