A new thin-walled honeycomb structure for Li-ion battery packaging is designed and optimized in this study. Compared with other battery packaging structures, the designed honeycomb structure described here uses a grid to reinforce its strength. At the same time, the weight is reduced to improve the energy density of the entire package. Moreover, the new thin-walled structure can better protect the internal battery and improve the safety of an electric vehicle (EV). A space mapping (SM) algorithm is used to efficiently optimize the thin-walled honeycomb structure due to the expensive computatio...
