Fluid-Composite Structure-Interaction in Underwater Shock Simulations

Fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) and sandwich components are widely made use of in today’s submarines owing to their advantages such as high strength-to-weight ratio and durability in marine environment over conventional submarine building materials. Fig. 1 shows a state-of-the-art conventional submarine with an upper deck consisting of mostly composite components.
