Effect of surface coating on cylinders subjected to underwater shock
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1992-09)
The response of a composite cylinder (metallic cylinder coated with a rubber material) subjected to an underwater explosion was analyzed numerically. Qualitative differences between coated and uncoated cylinders were ...
Integrated system damping and isolation of a three dimensional structure
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1996-03)
Controlling the vibratory response of a mechanical system is of key importance in most modern engineering designs. Constrained viscoelastic layered damping of vibrating elements is one method that can be used for vibration ...
An investigation into the comparisons of the underwater shock effects on a stiffened flat plate to the predictive nature of a computer model.
(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1985-03)
An experiment was performed to study the effects of an
underwater explosion on a submerged test panel. This is a
part of an on-going research project sponsored by the Defense
Nuclear Agency (DNA) to help predict the ...
Dynamic response and failure analysis of aluminum cylinders subjected to underwater explosion
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1992-06)
An underwater explosion test was conducted on two closed aluminum cylinders to provide physical results from a dynamic collapse. Axial and side-on attack geometries were investigated in this study. Both cylinders displayed ...
Simulation of the dynamic behavior of explosion gas bubbles in a compressible fluid medium
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1996-12)
Data from one-dimensional (spherically symmetric) analyses was used to examine the effects of compressibility and gas energy on the dynamic behavior of an explosion gas bubble, by comparing the bubble's behavior with ...
The modeling of viscoelastic circular plates for use as waveguide absorbers.
(1988-09)
A long standing concern of the Navy has been the need to reduce
structural vibrations in plates, such as ship's hulls. Recently, it was
proposed to use waveguide absorbers as a means to reduce structural
vibrations. A ...
THE RESPONSE AND FAILURE MECHANISMS OF CIRCULAR METAL AND COMPOSITE PLATES SUBJECTED TO UNDERWATER SHOCK LOADING
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1990-03)
The response and failure mechanism of circular aluminum and S-2 glass fiber/po lyester resin matrix composi te panels in response to underwater shock loading were investigated. The response of the aluminum panels was ...
