How to find the solution of multi-objective optimization quickly and exactly is the challenge of multi-objective optimization design. This paper explores the feasibility of multi-objective optimization solution briefly in theory, and makes a high-speed train’s anti-creeper as an example which using multi-objective design optimization software to find the feasible solution. Nastran and LS-Dyna are respectively adopted to solve the linear static and collision study analysis of the anti-creeper. In this paper Nastran and LS-Dyna are integrated on Optimus which is MDO platform to make a MDO of anti-creeper. The anti-creeper optimization analysis is proceeded based on many indexes satisfied, and its multi-objective Pareto solution of its minimum mass and biggest internal energy comes out. The method of multi-objective optimization solution in this paper is solved well in MDO.

In order to obtain the side walls section structures of high speed train applicable to different running speeds and conditions, a multi-objective optimization design is made based on the structure of topology optimization. In this optimization formulation, the weight of sandwich plate, static compliance and maximum deformation are used as the objective functions; the thickness of face panels and cores in five parts of the side wall are variables; and the air pressure gradient in compartments is the constraint function. Surrogate model techniques are adopted for constructing the response surfaces based on the optimization. Finally, a multi-objective optimization is performed using the NSGA-II algorithm and the optimization generates a Pareto solution set. The structure performance in Pareto set is greatly improved by 8.21% -33.58% than that of topology structure. In addition, the Pareto solution set provides engineers with many alternative Pareto-optimal solutions for optimization design of the sandwich plate section applied in the high-speed train.
