The development of armaments has brought forth the challenges of protection systems from
gunfire and the like, while the advances in high energy explosives and availability, run the …

Composites materials and structures are increasingly used to replace conventional
materials in civilian and defence-related maritime transportation and infrastructure such as …

The aim of this paper is to address characteristics of cavitation evolution caused by the one-
dimensional fluid-structure interaction as the graded foam core sandwich panels are …

Underwater explosion load can be divided into impact load and bubble action load, which
can cause local or global damage to ship or submarine. The explosion-proof design of ship …

In this paper, we have studied the influence of the panel thickness on the underwater impact
resistance performance of the pyramid lattice structure based on the SPH-FEM method …

This review aims to assess publications relevant to understanding the rate-dependent
dynamic behaviour of glass-and carbon-fibre reinforced polymer composites (FRPs). FRPs …

We present a new experimental technique to allow laboratory-scale observation of
underwater blast loading on circular plates, including dynamic deformation and failure of the …

A collection of experimental and numerical studies was conducted for laminated carbon fiber
composite plates of different layup orientations to investigate their response and failure …

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) experiments and finite element (FE) calculations are
performed in order to examine the one-dimensional response of water-backed and air …

Analytical models are developed to predict the response of circular, fully clamped,
orthotropic elastic plates to loading by a planar, exponentially decaying shock wave in …
