This paper provides an orientation angle optimization method for the design of fiber-reinforced composite materials using topology optimization. The orientation angle optimization is based on a topological derivative, which measures the sensitivity of an objective function with respect to a topological change of anisotropic materials. The sensitivity is incorporated into a new gradient-based optimization algorithm. This method allows us to avoid local optima and seek a global optimal solution. We provide some numerical examples and verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
