Abstract
In order to analyse the dynamic response and damage characteristics of human tissues and organs under the non-lethal kinetic energy projectiles, a numerical simulation model of human torso is established based on the Chinese visual human (CVH) data sets. By the dummy established with CVH data sets, the calculation accuracy of movement of human torso impact by non-Lethal kinetic energy projectile of finite element model were validated, and the skin perforation performance were validated by animal test. The non-lethal kinetic energy projectile, which is rubber ball in diameter 8mm and 50 shores hardness, impact on human torso with different velocity were calculated, the dynamic responses of sternum, rib and lung were captured and analysed. The results shows that, if the projectile speed is near the probability perforation velocity, due to the hardness of projectile and structure of organs and ribs, the projectile will rebound no matter the skin is perforation or not, and the vulnerable organ lung may not be damaged. At the same time, the pressure of lungs without skin penetration were significantly higher than skin without penetration, the human damage risk under soft projectiles is greater than hard projectiles when skin with damage but without perforation.
