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

•Due to safety risk, shock trials do

Computational modeling and response,


if perfected, can effectively and
accurately replace the experimental
procedures used to obtain the UNDEX

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; ‘local’ cavitation;


a large volume of low a small zone of low
pressure due to reflections pressure at
from sea surface fluid-structure interaction

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

•The time increments must be quite small so that the

accelerations are nearly constant during an increment.
