The study presents FE modelling and simulation of a system for range testing of protective shields for light armoured vehicles. The protective shield designed by Authors is used against HE mines and IEDs up to 10 kg TNT. The system consists of the multiple-use portable rangę stand, a protected Armox 500T steel plate and a protective shield. The shield has a multi-layer structure and has the following main layers: PA11 aluminum, SCACS hybrid laminate, ALPORAS aluminum foam, SCACS hybrid laminate, connected together using SOUDASEAL chemo-set glue. The HE spherical charge is suspended centrally at 400 mm distance from the top surface of the stand. Overall dimensions of the test stand are approximately 800x800x180 mm, the protected piąte has dimensions 650x650x5 mm, and the protective shield is of 450x450x76 mm dimensions. The system is supported by an additional steel plate stiffening the subsoil. FE modelling, numerical simulations and processing the results were performed for the system under blast shock wave using the following CAE systems: CATIA, HyperMesh, LS-Dyna, and LS-PrePost. The 8-nodes brick finite elements were used, taking into account friction and contact phenomena. Isotropic and orthotropic material models and advanced nonlinear equations-of-state for some parts of the system were chosen, with relevant failure and erosion criteria, including the Johnson — Cook model for Armox 500T steel and PA11 aluminum and the MAT 161 model for plies of hybrid laminates. The shock wave was modelled approximately using the LOAD BLAST ENHANCED option available in LS-Dyna Version 971 R4 Beta code. Numerical simulations were performed for 2 kg TNT.
