The emphasis of the study is to investigate the impact performance of the duplex energy-absorbing structure through experiments and numerical simulations. First, a finite element (FE) model of the energy-absorbing structure was established and validated by corresponding experiments. Based on the validated FE model, the effects of the strength of honeycomb on the impact performance of the energy-absorbing structure were evaluated. The results showed that the initial peak force and the average impact force increase with the increasing strength of honeycomb, and the energy absorption also follows the same trend in a certain range of combined strength. Then, to optimise the crashworthiness of the energy-absorbing structure, the multi-objective optimisation, the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and the polynomial response surface method were adopted, The optima were given in the form of Pareto fronts and the most satisfactory solution was determined by the minimum distance between ‘utopia point’ and knee point. The results showed that whether the best optima can be obtained has nothing to do with the accuracy of the surrogate models. And the structure possesses the best crash performance (EA = 200.8 kJ, Fp = 903.2 kN) when the strengths of honeycombs A and B are 5.23 and 4.00 MPa, respectively.
