Abstract
We first review works on characterizing loads produced by underwater and in-air explosions/blasts. We then summarize the work of Batra’s group on studying transient deformations of doubly-curved sandwich structures by using a third-order shear and normal deformable theory. For a given areal mass density we find structural designs that maximize the first failure load and then ascertain their ultimate failure loads by progressively degrading the material moduli. Subsequently, we briefly outline the work on fluid-structure interaction related to water slamming for deformable hulls and high-speed viscous flows interacting with rigid solids.
