Effects of rocket launch on a naval ship structures located near a rocket gun are studied. Using a finite element thermal analysis, the temperatures along the thickness are determined and then applied to the structure to investigate the thermal stresses distribution. Stresses caused by time/space dependent pressure loads are investigated as well, using transient structural analysis.
