Preliminary Simulations of High Mobility IED Resistance Suspension with Casting Arms

Abstract:

Currently led military operations (Iraq and Afganistan) have shown that one of the biggest threats for vehicles moving in convoys are Improvised Explosive Devices. On the basis of experiments, it was found that there are not such structures which are completely resistant to explosion. The paper describes the concept for arms of suspension system with specially reduced construction node which undergo a controlled destruction at the time of detonation. Designing the target elements requires tests in order to determine the service load for suspension system..
