Two studies were performed to enhance the understanding of phenomena occurring in
shell structures subjected to side-on underwater explosions. In the first, a numerical
analysis was performed to investigate the non-linear response of cylindrical shells
subjected to near-field side-on underwater explosions. In the second study, a numerical
analysis of a cylindrical shell subjected to a far-field underwater explosion was
compared with the results from an underwater explosion test. Sensitivity analyses
were performed to determine the relative importance of various physical and numerical
modelling factors.
