The main objectives of the proposed work are to examine the dynamic failure mechanisms of composite shell structures subjected to water shock impact loading, used in petroleum industry, by conducting a series of experiments and non-linear numerical analyses in order to improve failure criteria for composite materials. This research will provide much needed data on the failure of composite shell structures and validate numerical methodologies essential for use in future work on fluid-structure interactions in oil and gas industry.
