Proposed Method for Dynamic Analysis of Armored Structures: AnalyticalDevelopment and Computer Simulation

摘要

This report describes a simple proposed method for modeling and predictingballistic shock effects with respect to biological damage and structural failure of an armored vehicle turret/hull interface. The research that forms the basis of this simplified approach is presented along with the limitations and advantages of this method. Assuming rigid body motion, an armored vehicle can be modeled as stacks blocks and equations of motion can be derived. The nonlinear, second order, different equations are linearized then solved in general form and a mathematical analysis of the equations and their implications is presented.
