A Hole Nucleation Method Combining BESO and Topological Sensitivity for Level Set Topology Optimization.As is known to all, the incapacity to nucleate holes automatically in the design domain is one of the main issues of the classical level set topology optimization method.  To solve the issue of hole nucleation, this paper employs the bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) method based on the material removal scheme and the frequently used topological sensitivity and proposes the combining BESO and topological sensitivity (CBT) method for level set topology optimization.  First, the topological sensitivity is combined with BESO, and the BESO method based on topological sensitivity is proposed.

To solve the issue of hole nucleation, this paper employs the bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) method based on the material removal scheme and the frequently used topological sensitivity and proposes the combining BESO and topological sensitivity (CBT) method for level set topology optimization.  This method can replace the existing hole nucleation method for level set topology optimization.  Second, the method is integrated into level set topology optimization to solve the issue of hole nucleation.
