High-speed vessels face significant challenges in optimizing bow structures under slamming loads due to uncertainties in load magnitude and spatial distribution. This paper proposes a multi-stage topology optimization method integrating load uncertainty analysis and manufacturing constraints to balance lightweight design and engineering feasibility. Firstly, the uncertain loads are converted into multi-scenario worst-case loading problems. Through an iterative "critical load scenario-topology optimization" process, the critical load positions are dynamically updated. Then, a topology optimization strategy based on the Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) method is employed, incorporating geometric/manufacturing constraints to progressively derive an optimal stiffener layout that meets strength and stiffness requirements. Each iteration retains prior design outcomes and updates worst-case load scenarios to achieve progressive adaptation to uncertain loads. Finally, multiple iterations and geometric reconstruction convert high-density element clusters into manufacturable stiffener configurations. Finite element verification demonstrates that the optimized bow structure exhibits significantly reduced maximum displacement, more uniform multi-scenario responses, and compliance with lightweight and safety requirements. This method effectively addresses the computational burden of double-layer nested optimization, offering a novel approach for structural optimization of high-speed vessel bows under stochastic slamming loads.
