Blast diffusion by different shapes of vehicle hull
Journal Title: International Journal of Automotive Engineering and Technologies - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
In many parts of the world, the blast is a frequent occurrence case. Blast damages humans as well to the property. The physics of blast is very complicated for analysis. Hence, researcher have been studying physics of anti vehicular (AV) mine explosion, explosive interaction with soil, gas expansion, interaction of explosive product with vehicles, human effects from AV mine explosion etc. Many strategies were discussed to mitigate the blast effect. To protect the military vehicle, many design measures are suggested. One of the measures could be the effective design of the shape of vehicle hull, which can dissipate blast energy in effective way. An analytical study on blast energy dissipation through different shaped hull of military vehicle is discussed in this paper. These vehicle hulls have same cross sectional perimeter and length is also kept same. Various responses after blast are studied on these hulls and comparison is done for an effective dissipation of blast energy.
