Predicting the behavior of armored plates under shallow-buried landmine explosion using incomplete scaling models

Similarity laws of geometric and material distortion for anisotropic elastic plate subjected to impact loads

“…On this basis, the initial conditions (impact velocity and density/mass) of the scaled model were corrected to compensate for distortion of different materials with strain hardening, strain-rate sensitive and thermal effects. Some studies further considered the influence of geometric distortion of thickness and obtained the simple scaling relations by empirical iterate methods [21][22][23] and by dimensionless analysis method for impacted simple beam and plate [24]. Since the defects of traditional similarity laws were overcome fundamentally, these works established a new scaling system and had gradually become widely used in the last twenty years [20].…”

Numerical and experimental investigation of the ballistic performance of the armor structure with in-layer deflector against bullets

“…Behera et al (2021) investigated the explosion protection performance of a V-shaped composite plate design. Kang et al (2021) investigated the performance of V-shaped armor plates against land mines through experimental and numerical studies. Panowicz et al (2013) numerically investigated the mine protection performance of metal sheet designs with deflector geometry for placement on the underside of armored vehicles.…”
