Wound Ballistics: Study of the Rupture of Human Skin Membrane under the Impact of a Projectile
Keywords:
Threshold velocity, Penetration, Human skin membrane
Abstract
The paper attempts to theorize the rupture of human skin membrane under the impact of a projectile. An expression for the threshold velocity for penetration has been derived which is found to give results in fair agreement with experimental values reported in literature.
