Correlation and validation of armour systems
When lives are at stake, there is no substitute for experimental tests in the correlation and validation of armour systems. Through our external partners, Simpact can offer the capability to test any calibre or projectile up to and including 40 mm at any range from 1 m to 2500 m, plus blast tests in accordance with — among others — NATO and STANAG test protocols. A dedicated Project Engineer will plan and oversee all tests to ensure the exact test conditions are reproduced.

These tests are commonly carried out to support or verify our developed numerical models. We are experienced users of the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique and we have successfully used this to measure the dynamic real time displacments of an armour back face. This is an invaluable tool for understanding back face deformation and providing data for CAE model correlation.
For further information on Digital Image Correlation, please see our Case Study The application of 3D Digital Image Correlation (DIC) to blast load cases.
