Quantification of the causes of human injuries from buried blast events

Lead Research Organisation: University of Sheffield
Department Name: Civil and Structural Engineering

Abstract

This project will help to improve the understanding of how blast waves are transmitted through human tissue. Develop a numerical model to look at the effect buried explosive output has on ballistic gelatine (a human tissue surrogate).

From this, develop a physical test series that compares the transmission of shock waves from buried explosive through ballistic gelatine with free air. With the aim of informing future protection schemes.
