Topology optimization of continuum structure with multiple materials was proposed using an improved filter technique.The objective function was developed by the minimum strain energy to meet stiffness requirements.The volume of every phase material was used as the constraints.A model for topology optimization of continuum structure with multiple materials was developed.The method of moving asymptotes was adopted as solving strategy for the topology optimization problem.The improved filter technique was used to modify the sensitivities of the objective function and the design variables in order to avoid the phenomenon of numerical instability such as checkerboard.The numerical examples were presented to show the feasibility of the approach.The distinct topology of structure with multiple materials can be obtained.
