Abstract

Numerical modeling of an IED explosion under an armored vehicle is one of the primary methods of the evaluation of the vehicle crew safety. In the presented paper the authors use numerical models to assess the influence of acceleration pulse on the soldier’s body. This work focuses on the ergonomic aspects of the crew compartment. Simulations show the differences in injury levels depending on various factors e.g. the location of an explosion which changes the direction of load. The simulations results include the injury criteria and kinematics of the soldier’s body. The outcomes enabled the determination of factors and elements of the compartment which can be dangerous for soldiers.
