Blast response of centrally and eccentrically loaded flat-, U-, and V-shaped armored plates: comparative study

摘要: Light armored vehicles (LAVs) can be exposed to blast loading by landmines or improvised explosive devices (IEDs) during their lifetime. The bottom hull of these is usually made a few millimeters thin plate that the vehicle’s weak point in blast-loading scenario. Therefore, resistance and load redirection are very important characteristics providing adequate vehicle as well occupant protection. Furthermore, eccentric nature caused was found omitted studies simplified structures like beams plates. For this purpose, wave dispersion response centrally eccentrically loaded flat-, U-, V-shaped plates examined using combined finite-element–smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (FE–SPH) model. results showed better disperse waves for any type and, therefore, successfully applied LAVs. Based on study geometry typical LAV $$6\times 6$$ , minimum angle also determined.
