Numerical Simulation and Response of Stiffened Plates Subjected to Noncontact Underwater Explosion

A numerical simulation has been carried out to examine the response of steel plates with different arrangement of stiffeners and subjected to noncontact underwater explosion (UNDEX) with different shock loads. Numerical analysis of the underwater explosion phenomena is implemented in the nonlinear f...
