Popis: The safety of the troop in an armored vehicle is paramount. The most serious threat to armored vehicles is a buried charge explosion or an improvised explosive device. The use of numerical approaches in the validation of armored vehicles minimizes the number of prototypes needed and speeds up the design process. This research focuses on blast simulation utilizing the ConWep (which stands for conventional weapon) method for STRENX armor steel used for blast protection in ALM (which stands for antilandmine) vehicles. The plate is modeled as a deformable solid with the Johnson-Cook plasticity model. In this paper protective plates were examined in order to determine which geometry gives the best protective conditions for the troop in an armored vehicle. Three different geometries were numerically tested, and two of them represent combined geometry. The maximal value of the plastic strain and maximal value of the vertical displacement of the central node on the protective plate was chosen as the parameters to represent the obtained results.
