... direction, and rate of load application. Injuries resulting from behind-armor blunt trauma, caused by the rapid deformation of protective equipment from projectiles, can be severe and debilitating. [ 1 ] With the increasing number of firearms-related incidents occurring across the globe [ 2 ], first...

Impact Location Dependence of Behind Armor Blunt Trauma Injury Assessed Using a Human Body Finite Element Model

Michael C. Bustamante, Duane S. Cronin
Journal: Journal of Biomechanical Engineering
Publisher: ASME
Article Type: Research-Article
J Biomech Eng. March 2024, 146(3): 031007.
Paper No: BIO-23-1113

Quantification of Behind Shield Blunt Impacts Using a Modified Upper Extremity Anthropomorphic Test Device

Noah Steinmann, Julia E. de Lange, Jean-Sébastien Binette, Cheryl E. Quenneville
Journal: Journal of Biomechanical Engineering
Publisher: ASME
Article Type: Research-Article

... of the projectile. If the rapid back-face deformation contacts the arm, it can potentially impart a large force, leading to injury risk, termed behind armor blunt trauma (BABT). This work characterized the loading profiles due to the contact between the deforming back-face of the shield and the arm using a modified...

D. S. Cronin, M. C. Bustamante, J. Barker, D. Singh, K. A. Rafaels, C. Bir
Journal: Journal of Biomechanical Engineering
Publisher: ASME
Article Type: Research-Article

...D. S. Cronin; M. C. Bustamante; J. Barker; D. Singh; K. A. Rafaels; C. Bir Nonperforating ballistic impacts on thoracic armor can cause blunt injuries, known as behind-armor blunt trauma (BABT). To evaluate the potential for this injury, the back face deformation (BFD) imprinted into a clay backing...
