Multi-Objective Optimization of Square Corrugation Multilayer Nested Structures
Source abstract
Abstract
Thin-walled structures, when used for high-speed railways, can effectively mitigate the irreversible destruction when a malfunction occurs. Nested thin-walled tubes, as energy-absorbing structures, possess excellent specific energy absorption (SEA) and crushing force efficiency (CFE). This paper conducts multi-objective optimization by focusing on a square corrugation nested structure with a double octagon inner wall, namely SCOD, to ameliorate the crashworthiness of the nested structure. The finite element model of the SCOD is constructed and validated by test data. A set of experimental design points with good spatial distribution are obtained using the optimal Latin hypercube (LHC) method. The polynomial response surface (PRS) method was applied to establish the fitting relationship between design variables and optimization objectives, and validation is accomplished. The DCNSGA-III algorithm is employed for optimization, resulting in a Pareto alternative solution set with good population diversity and convergence. In addition, to observe the optimized performance, a set of optimal solutions considering a single objective value is derived, and a comprehensive optimal solution is obtained by applying the minimum distance selection method (TMDSM). Finally, the proposed optimized system is analyzed and validated. According to the alternative reference solutions, the initial peak force (IPCF) reduces by 53.75% and CFE increases by 8.7%. This paper provides some reference for the optimization design in practical engineering.
