Assesment of LS-DYNA and Underwater Shock Analysis (USA) Tools for Modeling Far-Field Underwater Explosion Effects on Ships

<p>This thesis investigates the use of the numerical modeling tools LS-DYNA and USA in modeling general far-field underwater explosions (UNDEX) by modeling a three-dimensional box barge that is subjected to a far-field underwater explosion. Past UNDEX models using these tools have not been va...
