Abstract
The numerical simulation method is highly repeatable and has a short research cycle, which has been widely popular in predicting blunt ballistic impact to the thorax. A Thorax Simplified Finite Element Model (TSFEM) of projectile-structure interaction was developed by using ABAQUS software. The projectiles made of plastic stick which were used in Bir’s whole body impact testing. The force dynamic response, deflection dynamic response and force - deflection dynamic response were obtained, and validated with the test response corridors of the human body (PMHS) announced by the researchers of Wayne State University, we confirmed the finite element model can be used to predict the ballistic blunt thorax injury risk, in order to provide certain reference to further formulate and assess the design criterion and injury criterion of non-lethal kinetic energy weapons.
