英文摘要：

In practice, a continuum structure is usually designed with tractions applied to a part of its boundary and prescribed displacements imposed on other part of the boundary. The design domains of practical structures are often limited and significantly affect the final optimal design of the structures. Structural boundaries under tractions and prescribed displacements should be treated as a subset of zero level set in the level set methods. However, structural optimization methods based on level set movements do not consider these realistic requirements. To overcome the limitations of current level set methods and the stopping issue of structural boundary movements, this paper constructs new normal speeds required by level set movements. And the convergence characteristics of structural topology optimization series solutions obtained by the proposed normal speeds are studied. Then, we implement the algorithm of the objective function for a problem with the strain energy as the objective function and with material volume as a constraint by use of several robust and efficient numerical techniques of level set methods. The benefits and advantages of the proposed method are illustrated through two 2D examples.
