Abstract
The importance of underwater explosion tests is increasing to assess the vulnerability of ships and underwater structures against underwater explosion phenomena. The near-field underwater explosion causes severe fluid-structure interaction on a target; shock wave contact, resulting fluid cavitation formation and closure, and finally bubble expansion and collapse leading possibly to water jet impact. A series of near-field underwater explosion tests were performed to investigate the response of a model target during underwater shock and bubble pulse loading. The relation between deformation of a model target and the effect of explosive composition was obtained.
