When shock wave and free surface interact, this will produce bulk cavitation. During the bubble pulse stage, the bubble will experience expansion and contraction in the collapse phase of bubble, a high-speed jet is produced. Bulk cavitation and high-speed jet may cause serious damage for ship structure. So this paper presents a study about the effect of bulk cavitation and high-speed jet on structures in an underwater explosion. To investigate the such problems mentioned above, the Finite Element Method (FEM) was applied. The Couple Eulerain-Lagrangian technique embed in ABAQUS software was used to solve the ship structural dynamic responses subject bulk cavitation and high-speed jet induced by underwater explosion in simulation. Furthermore, in this present paper, the response of a plate due to the shock wave induced by underwater explosion was also studied and verified by experimental study of Ramajeyathilagam & Vendhan[35]. For studying the effects of bulk cavitation and high-speed jet, a ship model was used as the object of study. The numerical result in this study may provide same helpful informations for the shipdesign work.
