Multi-material topology optimization based on symmetric level set function using the material definition with perfect symmetric property

This paper provides a vector-valued level set-based topology optimization method for multiple materials. The proposed method is characterized by a perfectly symmetric representation of multi-material by a vector valued level set function, which lowers the dependence of initial configuration in the o...
