In order to obtain the shockwave load simplified algorithm model for the semiarmored projectile internal explosion in the cabin, this research made use of AUTODYN to provide a numerical modeling method for explosion in the cabin and verified the accuracy of the method via the experiment. Internal explosion simulation calculation was conducted on the operating condition numerical model with different cabin structural dimensions and different explosive loads. The cabin internal explosion space was divided into the noncorner central area, near-wall area, two-sided corner area, and three-sided corner area. Through regression of the abovementioned calculation results, an engineering model to calculate the shockwave load was obtained. It is hoped that the model can offer some references to the antiexplosion design for the ship cabin and for damage assessment of the internal explosion.

For preservation efforts and stability assessment of historic structures it is imperative to understand the extent of existing damages and possible modes for how they could have occurred. The aim of this work is to illustrate the importance of integrating documentation, non-destructive testing, and numerical modeling for damage assessment of heritage structures. In particular, this work explores the synthesis of these techniques on a plastered masonry wall in Palazzo Vecchio. Laser scanning was used to capture the geometry of the wall while terrestrial photogrammetry and high-resolution images were used to document the magnitude of cracking in the plaster layer. High resolution thermal images were used to document the distribution of stones and additional cracks not visible through the plaster layer. The results of documentation and non-destructive testing were used to generate an as-built model for structural analysis. Finite distinct element modeling was used to simulate the response of the wall to a series of loading conditions. By comparing the results of simulation to existing crack patterns, theories for how the damage occurred were generated.

Numerical modeling of the problem of dam monitoring by the Electrical Resistivity Tomography method is carried out. The mathematical model is based on integral equations with a partial Fourier transform with respect to one spatial variable. It is assumed that the measurement line is located across the dam longitude. To approximate the shape of the dam surface, the Radial Basic Functions method is applied. The influence of locations of the water-dam, dam-basement, basement-leakage boundaries with respect to the sounding installation, which is partially placed under the headwater, is studied. Numerical modeling is carried out for the following varied parameters: 1) water level at the headwater; 2) the height of the leak; 3) the depth of the leak; 4) position of the supply electrode; 5) water level and leaks positions are changing simultaneously. Modeling results are presented in the form of apparent resistivity curves, as it is customary in geophysical practice.
