FEA of the blast loading effect on ships hull

Muhsin Hamdoon, Nader Zamani and Sreekanta Das

Abstract

In combat operations, naval ships may be subjected to considerable air blast and underwater shock loads capable of causing severe structural damage. As the experimental study imposes great monetary and time cost, the numerical solution may provide a valuable alternative. This study emphasises on numerical analysis for optimization of stiffened and unstiffened plate

Key Words

stiffened/unstiffened plate; blast loading; ship hull; dynamic response; Explicit/Implicit schemes.
