Quantification of the design relationship between ground vehicle weight and occupant safety under blast loading

• Military ground vehicle design must consider the threat posed by underbody blasts to new vehicles and their occupants, while also accounting for weight reduction goals for improving fuel economy and mobility. A two-stage process is presented to model the blast event, using LS-DYNA for simulating vehicle response and MADYMO for the occupant's response. Issues including computational expense, objective function formulation and multi-objective seating system design optimisation are addressed in detail, and three different blastworthiness optimisation formulations are presented and evaluated
