Circumferential Response Differences and Plastic Deformation Mechanisms of Ring-Stiffened Cylindrical Shells Subjected to Underwater Explosion Shock Waves

Ring-stiffened cylindrical shells are widely used as load-bearing components in submarine pressure-hull sections. Existing underwater explosion studies have mainly emphasized incident-face denting or global failure, leaving unresolved how circumferential shock-wave diffraction and internal structural load transfer prod...
