Abstract:Abstract.A submersible vehicle mast is a device that extended above the surface of the water while the vehicle remains hidden below. Masts mounted above a submersible vehicle are used to support navigational instruments and various electronic devices, such as radar antennas and sensors. Submersible vehicle mast must be designed to survive extreme loading conditions, such as underwater explosions (UNDEX). The present study applied the finite element method, Cole's empirical formulation and acoustic-structure co… Show more
