What is the importance of UNDEX resistance?

• Warships should last destructive effects of any near underwater explosion.

• Also shipboard systems must be shock hardened to a certain level to ensure combat survivability of both personnel and equipment.

So, shock resistance is a major issue that should be considered during early design phase of...

warships, radars, weapons, torpedos or any other shipboard equipment

Shock Trials (Physical Tests);

• Extremely Expensive• Dangerous

• Harmful to the surrounding Environment

• Require years of planning and preparation

• Due to safety risk, shock trials do not test up to the ship’s design limits or even the true wartime shock environment.

• These tests are performed after the first ship is already built.

Shock trials of USS WINSTON S. CHURCHILL (DDG 81) in 2001

• United States Navy spent tens of millions of dollars • Years of planning and preparation

Impact Tests;

expensive experimental tests on simple cylindrical shells and plate structures.

Computational modeling and response, if perfected, can effectively and accurately replace the experimental procedures used to obtain the UNDEX response.

UNDEX Simulation;The shock response of an immersed or floating structure is obtained when subjected to a near UNDEX loading

• Kwon and Cunningham; dynamic responses of stiffened cylinder and beam elementsDYNA3D [Explicit FE Code]+ Underwater Shock Analysis (USA) [BE Code based on DAA]

• 90s Kwon and Fox;the nonlinear dynamic response of a cylinder subjected to side-on underwater explosion

• Sun and McCoy UNDEX analysis of a composite cylinder ABAQUS + a fluid-structure interaction code• Cichocki, Adamczyk, and Ruchwa implemented fluid-

structure interaction phenomenon, pressure wave distribution, and the radiation boundary conditions into ABAQUS.

Three dimensional ship shock trial simulation of a warship was performed by Shin in 2004

For our case ( MIL-S-901 D; 27.3 kg HBX-1 at 7.3 m depth) T=0.64 s

• Bubble pulses are a strong source of excitation for ships whose bending vibration mode is near to the bubble pulse frequency

• It is especially important for the late time response of the ship

• However, for our case, the first mode of vibration is well above the bubble pulse freq. calcualted above.

UNDEX PHENOMENA;Cavitation

Cavitation takes place in water when there is area of near-zero absolute pressure (about 206.8 Pa)

Two types of cavitation occur in an UNDEX event;

‘bulk’ cavitation;a large volume of low pressure due to reflections from sea surface

‘local’ cavitation;a small zone of low pressure at fluid-structure interaction surface.

The effect of cavitation on the response of the floating structures is important and must be properly modeled to obtain physically meaningful results.

For reasonable accuracy, at least six representative internodal intervals of the acoustic mesh should fit into the shortest acoustic wavelength present in the analysis. Eight or more will be better.

We used an element size of about 50 mm around the acoustic-structural interface. The element size increases up to 150 mm at outer fluid regions.

Meshing whole fluid medium with 50 mm elements would result in about 16 million elements!

• An explicit central-difference time integration rule is used;

• Each increment is relatively inexpensive because there is no solution for a set of simultaneous equations.

• The time increments must be quite small so that the accelerations are nearly constant during an increment.

• A lumped mass matrix is used because its inverse is simple to compute.

CONCLUSION AND OUTLOOK

• Fluid mesh size has important effect on the structural response and should be selected carefully for accurate results; Mesh Convergence Study DFT analysis of loadings

• Though it requires a nonlinear fluid behavior which adds to the cost

of the analyses, including cavitation is a must to obtain physically meaningful results.

• The effect of damping was also shown to be important for peak acceleration estimation in the late time response of the platform.

• Submodeling analysis can bu run to obtain converged stress-strain results at some sub-region of the structure.

• Experimental work is a must for the validation of the numerical code used and of the analysis procedure followed in this study. The work done in this work will provide the basis for the future experimental work.
