Evolution of Occupant Survivability Simulation Framework Using FEM-SPH Coupling

Abstract

* Approximately 60% of Coalition Deaths in Iraq and 75% of casualties in Afghanistan stem from IEDs * Wish to simulate the blast-event from an IED on an armored vehicle * Need for increased simulation efficiency and accuracy * Aspiration to evaluate commercial off-the-shelf software effectiveness * Perform an end-to-end soldier centric occupant survivability solution * Simulate explosion, with vehicle and occupant response
