Skin friction blistering: computer model [PDF]

Skin Research and Technology, 2007
Background/purpose: Friction blisters, a common injury in sports and military operations, can adversely effect or even halt performance. Given its frequency and hazardous nature, recent research efforts appear limited. Blistering can be treated as a delamination phenomenon; similar issues in materials science have been extensively investigated in ...
