Battle damage survivability is the prime design criterion of naval ships. Composites and hybrid structures such as polymer coating attract much attention to increase the ship survivability. Aiming to develop the parameter optimization design of the coating and to assess the underwater explosion shock environment and the blast-resistant effect of polymer coating efficiently, an approximate numerical method was performed in this preliminary study. An equivalent continuum model based on the homogenization theory was introduced to simulate the dynamic behavior of the coating. The test data of full-scale underwater explosion tests and the numerical simulation results were investigated. The blast-resistant property of the polymer coating was elaborated. The core strength had an important influence on the ship dynamic response: under low-intensity underwater explosion shock load, “soft” core had greater blast-resistant effect than the other ones, while under high-intensity underwater explosion shock load, “ordinary” core and “hard” core had better blast-resistant effect than the “soft” core.
