PROBLEMS OF EXPLOSION INFLUENCE ON MRAP MINE-RESISTANT VEHICLES
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2010, Vol 158, Issue 4
Abstract
MRAP mine-resistant vehicles are still endangered by attacks with mines and improvised explosive devices, despite their increased resistance to blasts. This has led to the situation in which numerous science institutions are carrying out research on new design elements which will minimise this kind of threat. The article presents threats caused by an explosion and its influence on vehicles. Moreover, the authors describe design elements of MRAP vehicles which improve mine resistance. The authors also define threats resulting from the load of the reflected blast wave. The methods of its parameters determination are also presented.
