Fluid-structure interaction analysis of a thick-section composite cylinder subjected to underwater blast loading

Identification of Interaction Pressure Between Structure and Explosive with Inverse Approach

“…In contrast to the air blast studies, it is well known that strong fluid-structure coupling exists during underwater explosions [13][14][15][16][17]. Although direct experimental measurement of blast wave pressure is difficult, it is generally recognized that coupled fluid-structure analysis is required to adequately design and characterize underwater structural response during blast loading.…”

The simulation of cavitating flows induced by underwater shock and free surface interaction

“…Underwater shock-structure interactions have been previously investigated via experiments and computations [9,16,18,19]. The main focus of those works is on analyzing structural elastic response subjected to only underwater shock where the shock pressure loading is approximated by an exponential function [9,16] and the possible rupture of thin plate is also observed by Ramajeyathilagam and Vendhan [19].…”

Dynamic Responses of Composite Structures with Fluid-Structure Interaction

“…Both experimental and numerical studies have been conducted for metallic structures [Kwon & Fox, 1993;Kwon, et al, 1994;Kwon & McDermott, 2001]. On the other hand, a much limited studies were undertaken for composite structures subjected to underwater explosion [Rasmussen, 1992;Rousseau, 1993;Mouritz, 1995Mouritz, , 1996McCoy & Sun, 1997;Gong & Lam, 1998;and Lam, et al, 2003]. As far as impact loading on composite structures under water is concerned, the author's research team conducted the research for the first time, to our best knowledge [Kwon, 2009;Kwon & Kendall, 2009;Owen, et al, 2010].…”
