Blunt Trauma Thoracic Rig (BTTR)
Blunt trauma to the torso can occur from bullet deformations when impacting body armour.
Blunt trauma to the torso can occur from bullet deformations when impacting body armour.
Biokinetics has developed specialized test equipment to evaluate the protective effectiveness and injury potential of ballistics armour systems for behind armour blunt trauma.
The Mandible Load Sensing Headform (MLSH) can be used to assess the level of impact protection provided by facial/jaw guards by assessing the jaw forces and head accelerations.
Assessing the ballistics performance of combat helmets depends partly on the variability of projectile targeting and obliquity.
The NIJ 0106.01 standard for ballistics helmets requires attenuation of the bullet impact within a global head acceleration tolerance.
The clay headform is used as a ballistics penetration witness for combat helmets whether it is filled with clay or with metal plate inserts.
The Ballistic Limit Headform is a sacrificial item that helps evaluate the ballistics limit of combat helmets in their as-worn condition with realistic standoff.
While ballistic helmets stop bullet penetration, the underlying shell deformation may cause skull fracture and underlying brain injuries.
The Helmet Fatigue Tester evaluates the rigidity and shape retention of a combat helmet.
Comprehensive evaluation of the protective performance of combat helmets not only involves assessing the resistance to ballistic penetration but also the secondary effects such as behind helmet blunt trauma and the effects of momentum transfer to the head and neck and related linear or rotational kinematics.
