Abstract: To enhance the stability and safety of submersible pressure hull structures in deep-sea environments, this study first conducts a parametric analysis of an initial ring-stiffened cylindrical pressure hull design. The optimal Latin hypercube sampling method is employed to generate sample points and to evaluate the response of design variables to the optimization objectives. A high-fidelity fourth-order response surface model is then constructed, followed by the formulation of a multi-objective optimization model that considers structural mass, strength, and buckling stability as competing objectives. The NSGA-II genetic algorithm is subsequently applied to perform non-dominated sorting and crowding distance calculation. This yields four distinct Pareto-optimal schemes, each exhibiting varying degrees of improvement across the defined objectives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
