Abstract

A wheeled armored vehicle is a military vehicle that has been developed to enhance combat capabilities and mobility for the army. The wheeled armored vehicle has a high center of gravity, and it operates on unpaved and sloped roads. Therefore, this vehicle has a high risk of rollover crashes. To design the interior of the military vehicle, the crew's safety during rollover crashes is an important factor. However, actual vehicle tests for design are extremely expensive. In this paper, nonlinear dynamic analysis is performed to simulate the rollover crashes and the passenger injury is assessed for a wheeled armored vehicle. The scope of this research is the rollover condition, FE modeling of the wheeled armored vehicle and the dummy, arrangement of dummies, assessment of passenger injuries, and simulation model for rollover crashes.

차륜형전투차량은 보병부대의 전투력 강화와 기동성 향상을 목적으로 운용하는 군용차량이다. 전투차량은 운용 특성상 험난한 지형의 주행이 불가피하고 높은 무게 중심으로 인해 전복 사고의 위험성이 크다. 이러한 이유로 전투차량의 내부는 전복 사고에 따른 승무원의 안전성을 고려하여 설계해야 할 필요가 있다. 하지만 실제 차량을 이용한 시험은 현실적으로 많은 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 차륜형전투차량의 전복 시험을 모사하여 승무원의 안전성을 측정하기 위한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 및 모델링 방법에 관한 연구를 수행한다. 본 논문의 연구 범위는 전투차량 전복 시험 조건, 전투차량 유한요소 모델링, 유한요소 인체 더미의 적용 방법, 전복 시험 시뮬레이션, 시뮬레이션 적용 시 발생 가능한 문제와 해결 방안 제시, 인체 상해치 계산 및 평가를 포함한다.
