Abstract
Aiming to address the multi-objective cooperative optimization problem of ship structure lightweight and crashed-resistance, this study proposed a concave reentrant honeycomb-based negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR) sandwich structure to replace the stiffened plate. The feasibility of using the sandwich structure to improve ship crashworthiness is demonstrated through finite element analysis. An intelligent optimization method is established to address the issues of multiple parameters and complex effects associated with composite structures and optimize the crashworthiness of the sandwich structure. The effectiveness of the optimization method and the feasibility of the NPR sandwich structure in ship crashworthiness have been validated, providing a reference for the design of new multi-functional ship structures.
