N2 - The automotive armoring industry, which protects against ballistic attacks, lacks studies regarding damage to the human body during a collision. In this work, we study the mass changes in a vehicle undergoing a level III armored process, through a numerical evaluation of the full-frontal impact of a sport utility vehicle (SUV)—a Ford Explorer 2002. In this work, we present two evaluations. We first analyze the displacement suffered by the vehicle during an impact due to the increase in mass and structural stiffness and we then evaluate the deceleration loads that the user suffers in the event of a crash. In addition, dynamic analyses were performed to quantify the head injury criterion (HIC) and chest severity index (CSI) on a 50th percentile dummy to calculate the probability of the occupant suffering possible injuries. The outcome shows a comparison between the acceleration severity index (ASI) of a commercial vehicle adapted to an armored process and an unshielded vehicle.
