On the Feasibility of a Transient Dynamic Design Analysis Method
Abstract
The dynamic behavior of structures subject to mechanical shock loading provides a continuing problem for design engineers concerned with shipboard foundations supporting critical equipment. There are two particular problems associated with shock response that were investigated during the course of the grant period. The first topic explores the possibilities of developing a transient design analysis method that does not degrade the current level of the Navy's shock-proofness requirements for heavy shipboard equipment. The second topic examines the prospects of developing scaling rules for the shock response of simple internal equipment of submarines submarines subject to various attack situations. This second topic was further divided into two tasks: chemical explosive scaling for a given hull; and scaling of equipment response across different hull sizes.
