Abstract

Abstract

To improve the protective structure design of armored vehicles against intensive blast loadings and ensure the safety of occupants, the dynamic responses of a monolithic beam subjected to impact loading, with occupant safety considered, was studied. First, experiments were carried out to characterize the dynamic performances of the monolithic beam attached with a mass-spring-damping system subjected to foam projectile impact. Then, the numerical simulations and theoretical analysis were conducted. At a relatively high foam projectile velocity, there is good agreement between numerical, experimental and theoretical results. The effects of the foam projectile velocity, the block mass, the spring stiffness, and the damping coefficient on the peak displacements and accelerations of the mass block were discussed by means of the numerical model. The results show that, the peak displacements and accelerations of the mass block increase with the foam projectile velocity. The block mass and the spring stiffness have little effect on the peak displacements and accelerations of the mass block. The peak accelerations of the mass block decrease with the block mass, but increase with the spring stiffness and the damping coefficient. The theoretical and numerical methods have verified correctness, providing a support for the rapid design of high-performance protective structures against intensive impact loads.
