Project Summary for 2002-MU-CX-K006
This proposal will provide a biomechanical assessment of blunt ballistic impacts to the abdomen by: 1) Developing human response corridors to such impacts by using data derived from specimen; and 2) Validating an appropriate injury criterion for use in determining the risk of injury related to these impacts. A stiff baton weighing 30 grams will be launched at 60 m/s into specimens (cadavers) to a spot directly over the abdomen. Similar testing will be completed on animal specimens. The combination of these data will be used to formulate the injury.
