Optimization of a Military Vehicle Space Frame Subject to High Impact Loading
TL;DR: In this article, a finite element model for the upper half of the space frame of an armored vehicle is developed, which is composed of hollow square cross-section bars and angle sections and is enclosed by uniform-thickness armor.
Design and optimization of joints to mitigate shock in military vehicles under blast and impact loaDing
TL;DR: The overall purpose of the study is to determine optimal types and configurations of joints that dissipate energy and incorporate the advantageous joint designs in the military vehicles.
