Abstract:The dynamic stability of a ring-stiffened cylindrical hull structure subjected to underwater explosion is investigated using a finite element approach. The arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method in LS-DYNA is employed for the analysis. One of the detrimental collapse instabilities in tripping is identified in the ring stiffened cylindrical structure. Tripping can be defined as lateral-torsional buckling behaviour of the ring stiffener. The stiffener tripping-form of collapse is a sudden and drastic reducti… Show more
