This paper presents selected results of a study concerning the protective capacity of ship hull structures made of composite materials subjected to an explosion of a spherical charge. The analysis of the effects of explosion on ship structure made of composite materials is presented. The main application of these structures lies in design of ship structures of great importance, which should also be protected against exceptional loads of this kind. In this study, a non-linear analysis with the finite-element computer code COSMOS/M was done. The methodology for the blast pressure charging and the mechanism of the blast wave in free air are given. The space pressure variation is determined by using Friedlander exponential decay equation. Various scenarios (parametric calculus) to evaluate the behavior of the ship structure laminated plate to blast loading are presented: explosive magnitude, distance from source of explosion, plate thickness.
