Underwater Shock Analysis of Nonlinear Structures: A Reference Manual for the USA-STAGS Code (Version 3)

Abstract

This report is a reference manual for the third version of the USA- STAGS Code that calculates the nonlinear transient response of a totally or partially submerged structure to a spherical shock wave of arbitrary pressure profile and source location. USA-STAGS is the result of interfacing USA (underwater Shock Analysis) and STAGS (Stress Analysis of General Shells). The fluid is assumed to be an infinite acoustic medium whose response to motions of the structure is described by either of the Doubly Asymptotic Approximations, DDA1 or DDA2. (Author)
