## SUMMARY In this paper, we use binary level set method and MerrimanβBenceβOsher scheme for solving structural shape and topology optimization problems. In the binary level set method, the level set function can only take 1 and β1 values at convergence. Thus, it is related to phasefield methods. T
We study a level-set method for numerical shape optimization of elastic structures. Our approach combines the level-set algorithm of Osher and Sethian with the classical shape gradient. Although this method is not specifically designed for topology optimization, it can easily handle topology changes
