| Abstract: | This study investigates the underwater explosion resistance of aluminum alloy octet-truss lattice sandwich structures using shock tube experiments and LS-DYNA simulations. A systematic analysis reveals key mechanisms influencing protective performance. The sandwich configuration mitigates back plate displacement through quadrilateral inward deformation, exhibiting phased deformation responses between face plates and back plates mediated by lattice interactions. Increasing the lattice relative density from 0.1 to 0.3 reduces maximum back plate displacement by 22.2%. While increasing the target plate thickness to 1.5 mm reduces displacement by 47.6%, it also decreases energy absorption efficiency by 20% due to limited plastic deformation. Fluid–structure interaction simulations correlate well with 3D-DIC deformation measurements. The experimental results demonstrate the exceptional impact energy absorption capacity of the octet-truss lattice and highlight the importance of stiffness-matching strategies for enhanced energy dissipation. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing the design of underwater protection structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
