Description
Summary:The selected variants of strengthening the construction of a military vehicle subjected to the effects of the wave of pressure coming from an explosion have been analyzed in the article. The paper includes the validation process of a numerical model based on the results of experimental tests of a real object, carried out on the testing ground. As a result of the conducted numerical analyses, the characteristics of the selected impact factors in the explosive wave-vehicle-dummy scheme have been presented. In order to assess the influence of strengthening the construction, the selected biomechanical factors, such as the acceleration of the dummy’s head, and mechanical factors, such as the acceleration of the vehicle’s wall, have been chosen.
