Adaptation of performed ballistic motion [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2005 Adaptation of ballistic motion demands a technique that can make required adjustments in anticipation of flight periods when only some physically consistent changes are possible. This article describes a numerical procedure that adjusts a physically consistent motion to fulfill new adaptation requirements expressed in kinematic and dynamic constraints.

Impact response and ballistic performances of graphitic foams [PDF]
WIT Transactions on the Built Environment, 2009 The demand for low weight structures that can achieve different structural, thermal and safety results is increasing in multiple engineering applications. Graphitic foam, due to its low density, relatively easy machine tooling, stiffness and homogeneity can be a good choice for sandwich panel filling. Moreover, in spite of its brittle general behaviour,

Ballistic performance of an FRP helmet-head system
Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica, 2023 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to make an assessment on the performance of an FRP helmet-head system subjected to ballistic impact. Firstly, an FE model for human head is developed in which it mainly consists of scalp, skull, meanings, cerebrospinal fluid, brain tissue, falx, tentorium, face and neck.
