The application discloses a flexible cover layer for inhibiting
underwater bubble jet load and a manufacturing method thereof, and comprises a flexible cover layer, a rubber outer layer and a closed-
cell foam sandwich layer; the rubber outer layer and the closed-
cell foam sandwich layer are pasted to form the flexible cover layer; the other side of the closed-
cell foam sandwich layer is pasted to a cabin wall or a side plate of an
underwater vehicle; the rubber outer layer supports and protects the closed-cell foam sandwich layer, and prevents the closed-cell foam sandwich layer from being torn under the action of explosion
impact due to the thin single foam wall; the manufacturing method comprises the following steps: obtaining material parameters through experiments, obtaining explosion load information through a scaled-down experiment; presetting the thickness of each layer,
coupling numerical solutions of compressible
fluid models and incompressible
fluid models with a finite element structure model, performing finite element numerical calculation, optimizing the structure thickness according to the finite element calculation result, and manufacturing the flexible cover layer according to the thickness. The application has the advantages of better absorbing
shock wave energy generated by
underwater explosion and inhibiting and blocking the
impact of high-speed bubble jet load.
