The level-set approach in the field of topology optimisation has been studied thoroughly the last two decennia, but there is a lack of challenging standard benchmark problems. Besides two standard benchmark problems, this master's thesis tackles one difficult benchmark problem in particular: the inverter. For every benchmark the minimum compliance problem is solved numerically. A level-set based algorithm has been devised to detect if a structure has a discontinuity during the optimisation process. In addition to this, a prevention method is tested, yet the results are unsatisfactory.
