Bra-body armour integration, breast discomfort and breast injury associated with wearing body armour
Ergonomics, 2021This study investigated whether female soldiers experience bra integration or breast discomfort/injuries related to body armour use and whether these issues were associated with breast size. Ninety-seven Australian Defence Force female soldiers completed a questionnaire and had their breast volume assessed (range: 91-919 ml/breast) using three ...

FLEXIBLE STAB RESISTANT CERAMIC-BASED BODY ARMOUR
Transactions of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering, 2007This paper presents the results of a study on performance of flexible stab resistant ceramic-based composite body armour that our research group has initiated, designed, assembled, and tested. The test outcomes were characterized in terms of the kinetic energy of the stabbing weapon at impact and the depth of penetration of the stab into the armour. A

Body & Society, 1998
This article identifies the emergence of the problematic of the body as a consequence of the forces of technology and bureaucracy which have run through the 20th century. It explores the hypothesis that the problem of the body has emerged out of the wreckage of the aura of the individual.

Influence of body armour on pulmonary function
Ergonomics, 1988The purpose of the present study was to determine if lightweight body armour (weighing less than 10 kg) would influence pulmonary function in a manner similar to that reported previously for backpacks and heavily weighted jackets. In three separate experiments involving a total of 30 healthy young males wearing three types of body armour, there was a ...

The effect of flexible body armour on pulmonary function
Ergonomics, 2015The additional mass and fit of current military in-service body armour (ISBA) can reduce pulmonary function in a way that is characteristic of a restrictive respiratory impairment. This could ultimately impair exercise capacity and military performance.

Effects of police body armour on overmatching ballistic injury
International Journal of Legal Medicine, 2019Overmatching occurs when body armour that has been designed to resist perforation by a specified projectile is perforated by a greater threat. This may result in wounding to the body armour wearer. In this work, overmatching of two types of police body armour was studied using two types of ammunition.

Impact of police body armour and equipment on mobility
Applied Ergonomics, 2013Body armour is used widely by law enforcement and other agencies but has received mixed reviews. This study examined the influence of stab resistant body armour (SRBA) and mandated accessories on physiological responses to, and the performance of, simulated mobility tasks. Fifty-two males (37 ± 9.2 yr, 180.7 ± 6.1 cm, 90.2 ± 11.6 kg, VO2max 50 ± 8.5 ml

V50 Determination Challenges for State-Of-The-Art Body Armour
16th Personal Armour Systems Symposium (PASS 2023), 2023The material constructions in personal protective equipment (PPE) have shifted over the last decades. In soft armour ballistics the construction shifted from plain wave fabrics towards more use of Unidirectional (UD) sheets. Also, the use of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fabric constructions increased significantly compared to ...
