Shape Optimization of a Wooden Baseball Bat Using Parametric Modeling and Genetic Algorithms
Baseball is a popular and very lucrative bat-and-ball sport that uses a wooden bat to score runs. We hypothesize that new design features for baseball bats will emerge from their shape optimization using parametric modeling and genetic algorithms. We converge the location of two points on bats made...
