The Study on the Dynamic Response of Cylindrical Pressure Hull on the Different Shock Loading Empirical Formula

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the comparison between underwater explosion (UNDEX) shock loading empirical formulations. First, the numerical simulations for a cylindrical pressure hull subjected to UNDEX loading were conducted and the results are close to the failure modes shown in experiments of Kwon (1993). Second, the empirical UNDEX loading formula of Cole (1948), Keil (1961) and Shin (1994) used in cylinder subjected to underwater shock loading were compared. The simulation results by using three empirical formulas were compared and Shin’s (or Cole’s) empirical formula was shown to be better than the other empirical formulations when subjected to an UNDEX under the same conditions. The analytical results offer a valuable reference to the research of underwater explosion.
