摘要

为了更好地满足舰船重要舱室防护结构的承载和抗弹要求，提出一种由聚脲包裹陶瓷、超高分子量聚乙烯层合板和格栅型夹层结构组成的叠层式复合装甲结构，分析其在不同弹体入射速度下的毁伤响应特征，开展结构优化设计。构建叠层式复合装甲结构弹道响应数值模型和弹道极限速度快速预报模型，开展结构参数与叠层式复合装甲结构抗性能相关性分析，最后采用改进的非支配排序遗传算法（Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm，NSGA-Ⅱ）对结构参数进行优化。研究结果表明：弹道极限速度与陶瓷层厚度的相关性最强，面密度与夹层结构上下面板厚度的相关性最强。对比初始方案，优化方案能够在相同面密度的前提下使弹道极限速度提升24.1%，或在相同弹道极限速度的前提下使面密度降低19.8%；基于Kriging代理模型和NSGA-Ⅱ算法对叠层式复合装甲进行结构优化设计的方法有效可行。研究结果为复合装甲的结构设计和优化提供了依据和实践参考。

Abstract

In order to better meet the load-bearing and ballistic resistance requirements for the protective structures of key compartments of ships

a stacked composite armor composed of polyurea-coated ceramic

ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) laminates and grid sandwich structure is proposed. The damage characteristics of the stacked composite armor under different impact velocities are analyzed

and the structural optimization is carried out. A numerical model for the ballistic response of the staggered composite armor structure and a rapid prediction model for ballistic limit velocity are established. Then the correlation analyses are conducted on structural design parameters

residual velocity and areal density. Finally

the structural parameters of the composite armor are optimized based on the improved nondominated sorting genetic algorithm Ⅱ (NSGA-Ⅱ) .The results show that the ballistic limit velocity exhibits the strongest correlation with ceramic layer thickness

and the areal density has the strongest correlation with the thicknesses of upper and lower panels in the sandwich structure. Compared to the initial design

the optimized design can increase the ballistic limit velocity by 24.1% under the same areal density

or reduce the areal density by 19.8% under the same ballistic limit velocity. The proposed method integrating Kriging surrogate model and NSGA-Ⅱ algorithm is feasible for the optimization of stacked composite armor. The findings provide practical insights for the structural optimization of composite armor.
