Dynamical response measurement of a cabin model subjected to noncontact underwater explosion

Dynamical responses of a cabin model under far-field underwater explosion load were experimentally measured and theortically analyzed. The scale model was designed by referring to a representive cabin of naval ships and was used to assess the shock response of common hull steel models. The shock motions of the model were recorded by the accelerometers mounted on the model bulkheads and deck plate. The geometry characteristics of the charge and model and the disposals of the accelerometers were presented. Researched results are helpful to the future model experiments.
