description Vacuum-insulated glazing (VIG) has excellent sound and heat insulation and anti-fogging properties, having been a typical structure–function-integrated glass deep processing product. However, overlapping, vacancy and excessive spacing distance of the supporting pillars will increase the concentrated stress for the glass substrate, raising the potential risk of failure. Therefore, this study, aiming to address the high cost of sample preparation and the multiple factors affecting stress distribution, developed a multi-objective design for supporting stress. In this paper, a multi-objective optimization model was designed based on comprehensive mechanical analysis under square-distributed supporting. The critical supporting pillars radius as well as the critical spacing distance were solved and met the strength requirement. Case simulation demonstrated that a 0.2 mm or more radius and a 63 mm or less spacing distance for the supporting pillars were acceptable placement methods which conformed to the design requirements. This research will act as a theoretical reference for future studies, promoting the in-depth development of VIG and exploration of high-strength safety products.
