Abstract

In this paper, a method is presented for the optimal design of submarine pressure hull structures by taking advantage of genetic algorithm techniques. The objective functions and design constraints in the process of structural optimization are based on the ultimate limit states of hull structures. One of the benefits associated with the utilization of genetic algorithm is that the optimization process can be completed within short generations of design variables for the pressure hull structure model. Applied examples confirm that the proposed method is useful for the optimal design of submarine pressure hull structures. Details of the design procedure with applied examples are documented. The conclusions and insights obtained from the study are summarized.
