Explosive devices are frequentlyused in asymmetric combats. They severely threatens not only the armoredvehicles, but also occupants. After detonation of high explosive, blast loadsare transferred through shock waves and they hit the vehicle hull in a fewmilliseconds, which might potentially cause serious injuries on the members ofoccupants. Anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) allow for evaluating thesurvivability of occupants in armored vehicles subjected to landmine blast inaccordance with associated injury criteria standards. This study examines theemerging role of numerical simulations in the context of survivability ofcombat vehicles in modern warfare. The purpose of this investigation has beento compare the performance of Hybrid-III 50th percentile ATD innumerical simulation with that of full scale blast test. Force and accelerationtime variations were collected from Hybrid-III dummy in blast test. Those data werethen compared with numerical simulation model. Results show that the numericalsimulation results are in agreement with those obtained from experiments.
