Ballistic Trauma: Overview and Statistics – Wound Ballistics

open access: yes, 2016
Wound ballistics is the specialty in ballistics dealing with the interaction of bullet and tissue, resulting in lesions when humans or animals are hit. The lesions depend on the velocity and mass of the bullet as well as its design. Bullets are divided into low- and high-velocity bullets.

Ballistics and anatomical modelling – A review

open access: yesLegal Medicine, 2016
Ballistics is the study of a projectiles motion and can be broken down into four stages: internal, intermediate, external and terminal ballistics. The study of the effects a projectile has on a living tissue is referred to as wound ballistics and falls ...

A methodology to simulate interior and intermediate ballistics with dynamic mesh technique and lumped parameter code

open access: yesDefence Technology
International audienceThe aim of this paper is to simulate and study the early moments of the reactive ballistics of a large caliber projectile fired from a gun, combining 0D and 2D axisymmetric Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approaches.

BALLISTICS FOR THE NEUROSURGEON

Neurosurgery, 2008
Craniocerebral injuries from ballistic projectiles are qualitatively different from injuries in unconfined soft tissue with similar impact. Penetrating and nonpenetrating ballistic injuries are influenced not only by the physical properties of the projectile, but also by its ballistics. Ballistics provides information on the motion of projectiles while

Observation of ballistic holes

Physical Review Letters, 1988
We report the first direct observation of ballistic hole transport in semiconductors, via energy spectroscopy experiments. Light holes are preselected and injected via tunnelling into 31 nm thick p+ GaAs layers. About 10% of the injected holes have been found to traverse ballistically maintaining distributions ≈ 35 meV wide, with a mean free path of ...

Ballistic and near ballistic transport in GaAs

IEEE Electron Device Letters, 1980
Calculations which take into account collisions and intervally transfer in GaAs indicate that the electron transport in short GaAs structures is near-ballistic. High drift velocities (in excess of 5-107cm/s) may be achieved leading to potentially superior device performance.

Understanding Ballistic Injuries

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2023
Understanding the pathophysiology of a disease allows physicians to make a diagnosis, alter its natural course, and develop and implement appropriate preventative and management strategies. With ballistic injuries, an understanding of how the mechanism of injury translates to the injuries observed makes it possible to make sense of what can, at times ...

Ballistic injury

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1986
Wound profiles made under controlled conditions in the wound ballistics laboratory at the Letterman Army Institute of Research showed the location along their tissue path at which projectiles cause tissue disruption and the type of disruption (crush from direct contact with the projectile or stretch from temporary cavitation).
