U.S. Army Ground Vehicle Survivabilty Symposium 29 Mar-1 Apr 1999

Abstract

A mine-soil-structure interaction problem with a landmine buried in two different soil types was modeled using a hydrodynamic code. Because the actual soil types can vary widely between experiments the problem was bracketed between two widely differing soil types-dry sand and fully saturated tuff. The ballistic pendulum anvil plate acts as a momentum trap for a vertical impulse measurement facility (VIMF) under development at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. The model allows simulation of complex asymmetric explosive-soil-structure interaction effects. It also generates loading and response of the plate due to varying offset, standoff depth of soil overburden, and explosive contents.
