In order to further increase the volume, reduce the weight and manufacturing cost, the key structural parameters of thin-walled metal packing container are optimized. The instability conditions under circumferential external pressure and axial load are analyzed, a mathematical model with the constraint of critical instability strength, the maximum volume and minimum mass as the objective is constructed. Multi-objective optimization method with nonlinear constraints is used to solve the key structural parameters, such as wall thickness, diameter and height, and the optimization result is calculated by fgoalattain() function in the Matlab optimization toolbox. The instability pressure test system is constructed, the instability pressure of the optimized thin-wall metal packing container is tested. The results show that the unstable pressure is higher than 120kPa, which are better than the design index.
