Camera-based side-slip measurement for tyre testing

Author: De Saxe, Christopher ; Berman, Robert J ; Clarke, Anria ; Reinecke, John D Date: Jul 2019 Tyre parameterisation is fundamental to vehicle dynamics research, as tyre properties have a significant impact on the behaviour of a vehicle. One way in which some of the primary tyre parameters can be extracted is a trailer-based tyre tester, ... Read more
Commission of the CSIR's tyre testing and stress-in-motion facilities for improved tyre parameterisation

Author: Robert, Robert J ; De Saxe, Robert J ; Clarke, Anria ; Reinecke, John D ; Fisher, Colin Date: Jul 2019 All of a vehicle’s cornering and acceleration forces are transmitted through its tyres to the road. Tyre testing and parameterisation are therefore fundamental to vehicle dynamics research. Lateral stiffness properties are typically acquired ... Read more
The design of a modified lower limb impactor to assess lower limb injury at typical blast loading rates

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Reinecke, John D ; Sono, TJ ; Ahmed, R ; Beetge, FJ ; Nkosi, P ; Dicks, P ; Nurick, GN Date: Jan 2014 Anti-Vehicular Landmines (AVLs), under-belly Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) or even side-attack IEDs are found to be some of the major threats for military vehicles and their occupants [1]. The lower extremities of the occupants are very ... Read more
The dynamic behaviour of the floor of a surrogate vehicle under explosive blast loading

Author: Newell, N ; Neal, W ; Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Reinecke, John D ; Proud, WG ; Masouros, SD Date: Jan 2016 Improvised Explosive Devices have been the signature weapon in the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. High-rate axial forces exerted by the vehicle floor to the lower limbs of occupants have been the cause of severe injuries. In order ... Read more
Evaluation of the South African surrogate leg for landmine protection injury measurements

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Reinecke, John D ; Beetge, F Date: Jan 2010 For troop mobility and safety during peacekeeping operations, protection against landmines is key. Vehicle landmine protection validation testing is an integral part of military equipment procurement process and serves as an important technical ... Read more
Impact loading response of the MiL-Lx leg fitted with combat boots

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Sono, TJ ; Reinecke, John D ; Nurick, GN Date: Jun 2016 Anti-Vehicular Landmine or under-belly Improvised Explosive Device (IED) or even a side-attack IED are found to be one of the major threats for military vehicles and their occupants. The lower extremities of the occupants are very prone to ... Read more
In pursuit of vehicle landmine occupant protection: Evaluating the dynamic response characteristic of the military lower extremity leg (MiL-Lx) compared to the Hybrid III (HIII) lower leg

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Reinecke, John D ; Beetge, F Date: 01 Sep 2010 This study presents the results of a practical investigation into the robustness of the newly developed Military Extremity (MiL-Lx) lower leg, as compared to the Hybrid III (HIII) lower leg, with respect to repeatability and reproducibility ... Read more
Partitioning of a scaled shallow-buried near-field blast load

Author: Reinecke, John D ; Beetge, FJ ; Horsfall, I ; Miyambo, Mangalani Date: Jul 2015 Buried blast threats have been used for many years in both conventional and unconventional warfare. They are cheap, easily hidden, remain viable for extremely long periods after deployment and are effective, focusing the resulting blast ... Read more
Practical evaluation of the MiL-Lx lower leg when subjected to simulated vehicle under belly blast load conditions

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Reinecke, John D ; Philippens, M ; Dosquet, F ; Beetge, F Date: Sep 2010 This study presents the initial results pertaining to a practical investigation into the robustness of the newly developed Military Extremity (MiL-Lx) lower leg, with respect to repeatability and reproducibility under typical mine-protected ... Read more
The response of the MiL-Lx leg fitted with combat boots under impact loading

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Sono, TJ ; Reinecke, John D ; Nurick, GN Date: Jan 2014 Anti-Vehicular Landmines (AVLs) or under-belly Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) or even a side-attack IEDs are found to be some of the major threat for military vehicles and their occupants. The lower extremities of the occupants are very ... Read more
Safe and secure SA: Blast characterisation through impulse measurements

Author: Reinecke, John D ; Snyman, IM ; Ahmed, R ; Beetge, FJ Date: Nov 2008 The understanding of shallow-buried near-field anti-vehicular mine explosions is crucial to the research, development and validation of vehicle and occupant protection systems. This paper presents research executed on various explosive charge ... Read more
Safe and secure South Africa. Vehicle landmine protection validation testing

Author: Reinecke, John D ; Snyman, IM ; Ahmed, R ; Beetge, FJ Date: Nov 2008 The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of vehicle landmine protection validation testing in South Africa. A short history of validation test standards is given, followed by a summary of current open test standards in general ... Read more
Simulation of ATD pelvic response of an under body blast

Author: Schutte, Zelldra ; Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Langdon, GS ; Ahmed, Rayeesa ; Mahlase, Andrew CK ; Reinecke, John D Date: Sep 2019 Full scale under body blast testing are rather complex and cause a lot of variability in data. The complexity and variability of blast testing can be reduced by a well-developed numerical model that can simulate the various aspects of the ... Read more
