Topological optimization of continuum structures

A practical engineering method on the topological optimization for continuum structures is described, which can be applied for the topological optimization of any kind of continuum structures with various constraints perfectly. The optimization is performed by two steps. Firstly, all the regions in the elastic continuum which should be deleted are located. Secondly, the boundaries of these regions are found out. The method is suitable for the topological optimization of the structures with any kind of constrained conditions.
