Optimization of Light Armored Vehicle Plates under Blast Loading Conditions
Application Brief
In this application brief, we demonstrate how design optimization can be used
in designing an armored plate for the undercarriage of an LAV.
A validated
loading model for simulating blast mine effects was utilized in this study.
LS-DYNA was used to simulate the dynamic blast response, and HEEDS Professional was used to
perform the automated optimization in order to design a sufficiently light,
armored plate with an optimal material and thickness that minimized intrusion
into the vehicle.
