Mine warfare is a very effective method of warfare as it has the element of surprise, it doesn't require interaction with the enemy, and it has a high percentage of fatalities. Because of this, mine warfare has been used extensively across the world during conflicts and therefore there is a need for mine-detecting and mine-protected vehicles. The systems of protection of these vehicles need to be investigated so that they can be optimized. The study in this document investigates the effect of a disc of high explosive on a steel V-shaped plate through numerical modelling. This system is a simplified simulation of a mine detonating beneath the V-shaped hull of a mine-protected vehicle. 2014-12-28T14:53:35Z 2014-12-28T14:53:35Z 2001 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10368 eng application/pdf Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
