This study investigates the significance of fluid–structure interaction (FSI) effects on structural response to pressure wave and shock wave loading. Finite element (FE) simulations and one-dimensional (1D) analytical models are used to compare the responses of simple structures in presence and absence of FSI. Results are provided in nondimensional form and allow rapid estimation of the significance of FSI. The cases of a square elastic plate in bending and a square rigid-perfectly plastic plate undergoing membrane stretching are discussed in detail. We deduce simple formulae to identify scenarios in which effects of FSI can be neglected.
