description Aiming at a design for buffering and load reduction configuration for a large-scale (diameter greater than 500 mm) vehicle entering water at high speed (greater than 100 m/s), a numerical model for a vehicle entering water at high speed was employed based on an arbitrary Lagrange-Euler (ALE) algorithm. Combined with modal analysis and shock response spectrum, the influence of the head cap on the dynamic characteristics of the structure was analyzed. The results showed that the peak value and pulse width of the impact load on the vehicle increased with the increase in the speed of water entry. The existence of the head cap increased the complexity of the forces on the vehicle during the process of water entry. The initial formation of the cavity was greatly affected by the head cap. The head cap and the vehicle separated in the later stage of the water entry. During the process of water entry, the shell of the vehicle was mainly compressed and bent and the head cap reduced the deformation. The relevant conclusions of this paper can provide some input for the design of a new buffering structure and vehicle shell.
