Abstract
The processes of the mine imitator interaction with deformable surfaces of the soil are analysed in the paper. Using the explicit code LS-Dyna v.971 deforma-tions of the detonator cap of the imitator due to the interac-tion with soil at different firing speeds and their character-ristics were determined. The reliability criterion of the detonator’s operation was proposed – the minimum of dis-sipated energy during cap – soil interaction and structure of the cap was proposed. The results of the interaction com-puter modeling were verified by experiments and field tests.
