If main equipments are damaged with the shock wave induced by a non-contact underwater explosion, The warship is able to lose easily its fighting ability. A number of researches have been reported the disability is not caused by the damage of hull but caused by that of equipments.
Therefore, the main shipboard equipments have required the safety ability test using many kinds of theoretical analysis methods or experimental analysis methods to get safety estimation of shock.
So, in this paper the procedure of shock testing and the method of theoretical analysis are investigated. Then, shock ability for starting air compressor in actual shipboard equipment is estimated through the DDAM and the shock testing based on MIL-SPEC standard. Finally, the calculated results and the experimental results are compared to find the reliability of theoretical analysis.
The results of this study can be used as a to design shipboard equipments having shock wave.
