WOUND BALLISTICS AND BODY ARMOR
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1952Physicians spend an endless amount of time determining the etiological agents and the pathogenesis of disease. This is intrinsic to their progress. In a world of armed conflict in which the interval between wars has assumed a startling brevity, it is cogent that physicians also be informed about modern firearms and their missiles, for these are the ...

Failure retardation in body armor
Bioinspired, Biomimetic and Nanobiomaterials, 2017The protective structures that occur in biological systems are complex composite materials that display impressive mechanical properties, considering the weak properties of the individual constituents from which they are assembled. Body armors are hard materials designed to protect an animal from the fangs and claws of their predator.

Body Armor - Current and Potential Materials
Volume 3: Advanced Materials: Design, Processing, Characterization and Applications; Advances in Aerospace Technology, 2022Abstract Military forces have faced the ballistic threat in many forms for hundreds of years, ranging from spears to bomb fragmentation. Soldiers have historically worn body armor to protect themselves on the battlefield. The goal of modern lightweight body armor development has always been to develop lighter and stronger materials so ...

MEDICAL ASPECTS OF BODY ARMOR USED IN KOREA
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1954The results of ballistic surveys of American casualties in Korean fighting were presented in a previous paper 1 that also stressed the urgent need for body armor by combat personnel and discussed its probable effectiveness. The first field trial of body armor in Korea (1951) indicated that it could be worn without interference with combat performance ...

Armor and Anesthesia: Exposure, Feeling, and the Soldier's Body
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, 2012For many civilians, the high‐tech weapons, armor, and military medicine with which U.S. soldiers are equipped present an image of lethal capacity and physical invulnerability. But, as this article explores, soldiers themselves just as often associate the life‐sustaining technology of modern warfare with feelings that range from a pragmatic ambivalence ...

Engineering model for body armor
2014TNO has developed an engineering model for flexible body armor, as one of their energy based engineering models that describe the physics of projectile to target interactions (weaves, metals, ceramics). These models form the basis for exploring the possibilities for protection improvement.
