Description: The structural survivability of shipboard mast/antenna systems subjected to underwater      explosion can be 'designed in', through the determination of the structural dynamics of the      mast/antenna system. This report details the specialized application of accurate and      efficient analytic methods for the structural dynamic design analysis of shipboard      mast/antenna systems. Investigated herein are a class of substructuring methods, generally      referred to as component mode synthesis, which provide for the rapid calculation of      dynamic response of the mast/antenna structural system to weapons effects. Additionally,      the methods also provide for the simulation of live fire testing. The methods allow the      individual antennae and the mast to each be independently modeled, arbitrarily combined,      and combined system dynamic response rapidly calculated to determine the structural      survivability of a proposed mast/antenna configuration. This rapid and 'modular'      component-based analysis capability is specifically tailored for interactive computer-aided      design analysis of shipboard mast/ antenna systems.
