Underwater explosion (UNDEX) can cause severe damage to hull structure, equipment and human. In this paper, the effect of UNDEX load, including shock wave and bubble pulsation, on seated human response was investigated. The incident pressure of non-contact UNDEX was calculated. A lumped parameter in...
