Research advance of damage load of surface ship cabin explosion

Abstract

<p indent=0mm>With the enhancement of the ship’s protective structure, the development of anti-ship missiles with significant attack advantages is extremely rapid. This type of weapon can penetrate the outer deck and explode in crucial compartments, thus destroying the functional systems of the ship. Therefore, it is very important to master the load characteristics of anti-ship missile cabin explosion for the design of ship’s protective structure. This paper systematically summarizes the research progress of the formation and characteristics of three types of explosion loads after the anti-ship missile explodes in the cabin. Starting from the types of explosive loads in the cabin-shock wave, quasi-static pressure and high-speed fragment group, we systematically review their formation mechanism, calculation formula and structural damage modes, and finally propose the research direction of cabin blast and the problems to be further studied.
