Tactile transducers monitor physical variables like force and texture through direct contact,
featuring indispensable in human–computer interaction and biomedical applications. This …

Molecular ballistics combines molecular biological, forensic ballistic, and wound ballistic
insights and approaches in the description, collection, objective investigation, and …

Since decades, 10% gelatine is used to visualize and estimate the energy transfer of
projectiles. The study performed investigates the correlation of the temporary cavity (TC) …

Blunt force impacts to the head and the resulting internal force transmission to the brain and
other cranial tissue are difficult to measure. To model blunt force impact scenarios, the …

The transient, dynamic response of soft materials to mechanical impact has become
increasingly relevant due to the emergence of numerous biomedical applications, eg …

The aim of this work was to simulate an overmatch ballistic event against a head wearing a
helmet. The experiments were designed to understand how layers of bone (or synthetic …

Quantitative estimation of soft tissue injuries due to penetration of sharp objects is a
challenging task for forensic pathologists. The severity of injury depends on the force …

Ballistic soap blocks are used in wound ballistics to assess the potential damage of the
ammunition employed, allowing observation of the energy transfer occurred along the …

Molecular ballistics connects the molecular genetic analysis of biological traces with the
wounding events and complex forensic traces investigated in terminal ballistics. Backspatter …

In shooting crimes, ballistics tests are often recommended in order to reproduce the wound
characteristics of the involved persons. For this purpose, several “simulants” can be used …
