Abstract

The principle of operation of the energy absorbing element, which consists in the conversion of kinetic energy acquired as a result of explosion, into the energy of plastic deformation of a material is considered. To evaluate and select an element, a typical algorithm for optimizing it is developed. This allows using qualitative criteria with the known value of the explosive load to choose the rational parameters of the design and material of the element that will be optimal for a particular armored combat vehicle.
