ABSTRACT:
An assembly having a flexible enclosure, filled with a suitable pressure wave attenuating medium material having a lower acoustic impedance than water so as to reflect shock wave energy. This basic configuration can be mounted in the form of panels and attached to the structure it is intended to protect, in which case it will form a flexible barrier of low acoustic impedance and be orientated between the structure and the water or ground in contact with the structure. The pressure absorbing and attenuating medium that will reflect shock waves may be a gas, compressed air, a closed cell foam or expanded foam. The flexible enclosure may be made of rubber or plastic or elastomer. For certain types of foaming agents, the outer skin will harden into a suitable enclosure so that no discrete shell or enclosure is necessary.
