ABSTRACT = {A hybrid cellular automaton model combined with finite element method for structural topology optimization with mechanical and heat constraints is 
developed. The effect of thermal stress on structural optimization is taken into account. Higher order 8-node element and von Neumann strategy are 
employed for the finite element and the cellular element, respectively. The validating studies of standard testing structure for topological optimization 
are carried out. The structure evolution, stress evolution and thermal evolution of topology optimization with mechanical and heat constraints are 
investigated. The results show the developed hybrid method is more efficient for structural topology optimization. Meanwhile, the topology 
optimization can eliminate most of the thermal stress in the structure.},
