Abstract

The paper presents an approach to modelling of explosion on a vehicle. The studies take into account the impact of the secondary wave on a crew inside the vehicle. It is known that the impact of explosion on the crust (hull) of a vehicle creates a secondary wave phenomenon. The phenomenon rests on the interaction of the bottom and sides of the vehicle as a membrane. The membrane moves the pressure pulse acting on the armour inside the vehicle. The increase of pressure inside the vehicle causes the damage to internal organs ultimately leading to the death of soldiers. In the case of armour penetration, even a more rapid increase of pressure is possible. One of the basic ways to protect crews of vehicles is opening the hatches of vehicles. Nevertheless, this method is not applicable when the vehicle moves in a contaminated area.
