ANALYSIS OF THREAT TO CREW POSED BY EXPLOSION OF CHARGE PLACED UNDER WHEELED ARMOURED VEHICLE
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2011, Vol 159, Issue 1
Abstract
Provision of proper protection against landmines is a major aim of modern military vehicle designs. The point of developing the methods and means of countermine protection is to identify the shock wave impact on a vehicle construction and its crew. Information on overload coming from landmine explosions on a person are strictly confidential or not detailed enough. The basis to obtain them is to carry out experimental and numerical tests. This article presents basic issues and threats to crews as a result of landmine, IED or EFP explosions carried out by terrorists. The literature published has helped the authors to identify the main parts of body prone to the impulse load of a shock wave explosion on a wheeled military vehicle. The methodology and sample results of experimental tests identifying the shock wave load on a vehicle and its crew in a characteristic anthropometrics points of body are presented as well. Injury criteria and crew threat levels resulting from explosive load under a vehicle and its close area are outlined. The aim of such a complex analysis of shock wave load over wheeled military vehicles and their crews is the development of modern and effective protection devices.
