Fluid-structure interaction effects resulting from hull appendage coupling
(Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2005-09)
In previous work conducted in the modeling and simulation of ships subjected to underwater explosions, there has been some debate over the influence that hull appendages have upon the dynamic response of a multi-degree-of-freedom ...
Numerical study of effects of fluid-structure interaction on dynamic responses of composite plates
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2009-09)
Composite materials are seeing increased use in structural applications because of their various benefits. When composite structures are employed in a water environment, their dynamic responses are greatly affected by the ...
Dynamic response of a catamaran-hull ship subjected to underwater explosions
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2006-12)
E) requirements for the lead ship of each new construction shock-hardened ship class. While those trials are necessary in order to evaluate the vunerability and survivability of the ship, they are very expensive, require ...
An experimental study of fluid structure interaction of carbon composites under low velocity impact
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2009-12)
The effect of fluid force on the natural frequencies and damping ratios of vibrating structures in contact with fluid is known as the Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) problem. It can be interpreted as an added mass to the ...
An experimental study of fiberglass composites containing metal wire joints
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2009-09)
The U.S. Navy has been incorporating increasing amounts of composite materials during construction, especially in the areas of submarine sails and surface ship superstructures. The benefit of using composite material ...
