Abstract:

Ship deck arrangement design is about determining the positions and dimensions of arranged objects. This paper presents the mathematical model for the ship deck arrangement optimization problem statement and how the individual’s objective and constraint functions are computed. Moreover, an improved multiobjective hybrid genetic algorithm is redesigned to solve this complex nondeterministic problem and generate a set of diverse and rational deck arrangements in the early stage of ship design. An adaptive crossover operator and a novel topological replace operator invoked in this algorithm are described. Finally, the proposed algorithm is tested on a main deck arrangement optimization of an underwater detection ship. In the validation tests, the proposed algorithm is compared to the standard NSGA-II to determine its ability to produce a set of diverse and rational deck arrangements. Subsequently, the performance tests are used to determine the ability of the algorithm to work with the highly constrained arrangement problems and the efficiency of the adaptive crossover and topological replace operators.
