Modeling of the Minehunters Hull Strenght

Abstract

The paper presents problems of modeling the ship’s hull subjected to the load of shock wave associated with non-contact underwater explosion. The article presents equations for describing the parameters of shock wave subjected to an impulse load. The paper presents a proposal of identification of a degree of hazard the ship’s hull forced from underwater explosion. A theoretical analysis was made of influence of changes of hull structure in vicinity of hull. Modeled signals and hull structure were recognized within sensitive symptoms of three sub models: model of hull structure, model of impact and model of propulsion system. All sub models allow testing forces and their responses in vibration spectrum using SIMULINK software and FEM models. The results of testing allowed performing simulations of a similar nature to the actual loads of underwater explosions. Virtual model of the hull of the ship responds in a similar manner to the real impacts.
