Multiple Shock Loading on Fluid-Filled Shell Structures

The analysis of the scenario where a submerged shell structure is subjected to two or more consecutive shock waves is of definite practical interest, one of the most obvious examples being a complex shock loading generated as a result of the reflection of the original shock wave off one or more reflective surfaces in the proximity of the structure. At the same time, the relevant published studies of such multiple loading scenarios are quite scarce, perhaps owing to the fact that there are a number of higher-priority shock-structure interaction problems that over the years attracted more attention from the research community and more funding from the industry.
