Validation of a booted finite element model of the WIAMan ATD lower limb in component and whole-body vertical loading impacts with an assessment of the boot influence model on response

Objective: A novel anthropomorphic test device (ATD) representative of the 50th percentile male soldier is being developed to predict injuries to a vehicle occupant during an underbody blast (UBB). The main objective of this study was to develop and validate a finite element (FE) model of the ATD lower limb outfitted with a military combat boot and to insert the validated lower limb into a model of the full ATD and simulate vertical loading experiments.

Methods: A Belleville desert combat boot model was assigned contacts and material properties based on previous experiments. The boot model was fit to a previously developed model of the barefoot ATD. Validation was performed through 6 matched pair component tests conducted on the Vertically Accelerated Loads Transfer System (VALTS). The load transfer capabilities of the FE model were assessed along with the force-mitigating properties of the boot. The booted lower limb subassembly was then incorporated into a whole-body model of the ATD. Two whole-body VALTS experiments were simulated to evaluate lower limb performance in the whole body.

Results: The lower limb model accurately predicted axial loads measured at heel, tibia, and knee load cells during matched pair component tests. Forces in booted simulations were compared to unbooted simulations and an amount of mitigation similar to that of experiments was observed. In a whole-body loading environment, the model kinematics match those recorded in experiments. The shape and magnitude of experimental force–time curves were accurately predicted by the model. Correlation between the experiments and simulations was backed up by high objective rating scores for all experiments.

Conclusion: The booted lower limb model is accurate in its ability to articulate and transfer loads similar to the physical dummy in simulated underbody loading experiments. The performance of the model leads to the recommendation to use it appropriately as an alternative to costly ATD experiments.     

井下采空区构筑物漏风实测装置研发及应用

为了实时动态监测采空区构筑物漏风情况,自主研发了一种井下采空区构筑物漏风实测装置。通过现场实测及应用,研究结果表明:风流从工作面上进风口漏入采空区,而采空区中风流一部分通过与工作面之间的漏风流进入工作面下进风口,在下隅角位置附近形成一个涡流区;另一部分风流穿过沿空留巷构筑物进入留巷内,由于采空区的压实程度不同,采空区侧留巷内漏风速度曲线近似呈“L”型下降;通过收集分析留巷内漏风气体,其结果可反映采空区中瓦斯浓度分布情况,为采空区瓦斯治理提供了一种新的监测技术手段,且能有效地降低采空区瓦斯事故发生率,保证矿井的安全生产。
