The work describes chosen problem connected with using of armoured personnel carriers (APC) in the frame of stabilisation and peacekeeping mission. The new type of tasks appears: ramming obstacles such as fences, entry gates, light engineering obstacles and also pushing other vehicles aside the road in order to obtain trafficability. The main threat in such situation is a risk of serious injury of soldiers inside vehicle. The lack of a crumple zone increases a value of acceleration acting on the crew. In the work models of driver and crew member seats used in the APC were showed. To the tests a Hybrid III 50th male dummy model in a seated position were used, which is a good representation of the average population of men. To the modelling LS-DYNA software was applied. The work shows the numeric test results. Behaviour of the dummies during the impact on both the driver and crew member were presented. To assess a risk of injury standard indicators of crash test were used, including: maximum value of the head acceleration, the criterion HIC and the maximum values of the forces and moments in the neck. The distributions of these parameters were presented. Results of simulation indicated that velocity and location of dummies has large influence on levels of dynamic loads. To further research is proposed to take into consideration models of dummy with additional equipment of soldiers (e.g. a helmet, a weapon, a bullet-proof jacket).
The work describes chosen problem connected with using of armoured personnel carriers (APC) in the frame of military operations. The soldiers inside the APC are exposed to dynamic loads and shock which are, among other things, an effect of collision with other vehicle or terrain obstacles. In military vehicles, which design is based on a rigid frame or integral body, there is no technical solution to mitigate the effects of a crash. The only applicable means of protection against the effects of collisions are lap belts and helmet designed to protect the head. Preliminary research shows that this kind of equipment is not sufficient. In the work an assessment of the influence of chosen solutions of safety belts and helmets on dynamic loads of carrier’s crew during collision with a rigid obstacle are presented. In simulation researches the HYBRID III dummies models have been used and calculations were carried out in LS-DYNA system. The work shows the numeric test results. Behaviour of the dummies during the impact on both the driver and crew member were presented. To assess a risk of injury standard indicators of crash test were used, including: maximum value of the head acceleration and the maximum values of the forces and moments in the neck. The distributions of these parameters were presented. The assessment of applied passive safety systems was made from the point of view of treat to soldiers inside a carrier.

In this study are presented the results of the simulation tests of the friction pairs occurring between the spring leaves while considering a condition of the mating surfaces and an impact of the velocity of their mutual dislocation on the values of the friction coefficients. It has been proposed a methodology in respect of a determination of the coefficients of the static and kinetic friction. Two kinds of the specimens have been prepared for the tests, which have been cut out from a spring leaf of the prototype spring – they have created the model friction pairs. The condition of the specimen surface and their selected mechanical properties have been evaluated. During the experimental tests have been considered: four sliding velocities, four variants of the surface conditions and two values of the normal load. The tests of the friction pairs have been performed at the laboratory stand for measuring the friction force. The results of the tests have been presented in a form of the time courses of friction force, graphs and tabular summaries of the friction coefficients. It has been conducted a comparative analysis of the results in order to determine an influence of the test results on the values of the determined friction coefficients. The proposed research conditions are approximate to the typical operating conditions of the road vehicles.

When an explosive charge is fired, the nature and mass of the explosive are the only parameters of importance usually considered. The shape however, also plays a major role in the effect of an explosive charge. Knowledge of shape effect can be important before the use of the explosive (in order to create a maximum effect with a given mass of explosive), or in post-explosion damage assessment. The shape effect however is only significant within a certain range from the charge. At longer distance, the produced blast wave tends to be spherical. The shock wave parameters studied in this work are the peak overpressure and the first positive impulse. A series of numerical test has been performed in order to determine the range of influence of the charge shape. Different locations of initiation were compared. A hemispherical charge was point detonated at its centre whereas a cylindrical shape was detonated at the centre of an upper or lower plane. Numerical simulations of near field burst were conducted using LS-DYNA software. During numerical tests a pressure fields were determined for different shapes of explosive charges as well as the pressure waveforms at points located 1000 mm from a centre. Additionally, reference pressure history curves from LOAD_BLAST_ENHANCED procedure were calculated.
Military vehicles are mostly designed in order to provide effective execution of tasks in regions of expected actions and operation conditions. During execution of projects, resulting from participation in peace making and stabilization missions, military vehicles are subject to the impact of various mines and improvised explosives. In many cases, the explosive material mass included in the explosive charges affecting the vehicles significantly exceeds the values specified in standards defining the required protection levels assumed at the design stage. The above determines the search for additional shields or energy-absorbing elements reducing the effects of such influence. Information concerning design solutions is usually classified or very limited. Majority of companies dealing with that issue provides information concerning the scope of their business, highlighting the military area thus high efficiency of their protective solutions, possibly presenting a general outline of a particular solution. This paper presents selected results of analyses and studies being carried out and obtained results of solutions to problems included in the study tasks covering a considered subject. Proposed solutions of protective shields against mines and IED for the KTO Rosomak are presented.
This article presents results of the research on developed innovative protective structure for vehicles. The fundamental objective of executed work was to check the correctness of assumed assumptions, shape and geometry of the solution and configuration of components that affect the protective effectiveness during the impact of the explosive. In order to reach that goal, both model tests and experimental tests were carried out. The experimental tests were carried out on the real object. Significant information about the level, directions and nature of affecting dynamic loads were obtained as well as information about their impact on particular structure elements. The MES numerical model of the research object has been developed in LS-Dyna system. Special emphasis was placed on the mapping of complex geometry, configuration of components and their interactions. Test calculations were carried out and then the resistance calculations were made. As a load, generating post-explosion impact wave, the load imposed by normative requirements concerning the way of explosive arrangement as well as the shape and weight. The analysis of obtained results of the experimental and numerical tests allows for high evaluation of effectiveness of proposed solution.
