This paper presents the transient response of submerged elastic structures subject to underwater shock waves. Two fundamental effects are investigated, namely, the inertial and elastic effects, characterized by two non-dimensional parameters, namely, the inertial parameter M and the elastic parameter K. Case studies are provided with physical and mathematical interpretations of the results.
