Abstract:

The objective of this research is to develop an advanced design methodology for innovative composite structure concepts which can be used in the Armys future ground vehicle systems FCS, FTTS, LTV to protect vehicle and occupants against various explosives, including landmines. A multi-level and multi-scenario blast simulation and design system is being developed, which integrates three major technologies a newly developed landmine-soil-composite interaction model an advanced design methodology called Function-Oriented Material Design FOMD and a novel patent pending composite material concept called BTR Biomimetic Tendon-Reinforced material. A novel blast-protective composite structure BTR-Bl is being developed with the new design tool, which can be fabricated and tested against land explosives for use in military vehicles.
