Abstract
In the paper, an explosive material effect on behaviour of vehicle structure and its occupant through determining the maximum values of parameters deciding about injuries, i.e., forces acting on the abdomen, forces and bending moments in the neck, and other. The obtained results may contribute to select the best structural solutions of the vehicle as well as modifications influencing reduction of blast wave effects on the passenger. From the military vehicles designers point of view, it is vital to know a phenomena of an effect of a blast wave pressure impulse directly on the vehicle structure and indirectly on the soldiers inside the vehicle, which causes injuries posing a threat their lives and health. Numerical and experimental coupling tests are the best method to get knowledge on them. To obtain reliable results of the tests, validated and verified numerical models of the structure, human and physical processes characterizing the explosion and its effect on the structure and soldiers are necessary.
