Objectives The design domain for the topological optimization of ship structures is usually based on two-dimensional shell elements. However, the thickness difference of the design domain affects the setting of volume fraction constraints and the acquisition of stable topological configuration, restricting the practical application of the topology optimization method in the field of hull structure design. Thus, relevant research needs to be carried out to solve this problem.
