FOMD - Blast
FOMD-Blast is a multi-level and multi-scenario blast simulation and design system, which will enable the prediction, design, and prototyping of blast-protective composite structures for a wide range of damage scenarios in various blast events including vehicle rollover, localized structural failure, blast fragment penetration, and crew injuries.
Upon completion, the system will have the following functionalities:
- Geometry and model generation for landmine, soil, blast-protective composite structures, vehicle model, and occupant model for the specific design problems.
- Automatic finite element mesh creation for the critical parts in the system.
- Advanced landmine-soil-composite interaction models.
- Multi-level analysis and design capabilities for the design tasks such as blast wave deflection, impact resistant, blast energy absorption, and fragment protection.
- FOMD process, including deflector shape design, composite configuration and raw material selection, and optimal material distribution.
- Performance evaluation in terms of protecting the vehicle and occupant.
