Stature and mitigation systems affect the risk of leg injury in vehicles attacked under the body by explosive devices Open
A finite-element (FE) model, previously validated for underbody blast (UBB) loading, was used here to study the effect of stature and of mitigation systems on injury risk to the leg. A range of potential UBB loadings was simulated. The ris…

New viscoelastic circular cell honeycombs for controlling shear and compressive responses in oblique impacts Open
Cellular structures such as honeycombs are used to manage impact loads in many engineering applications, where often the impact load is oblique (non-axial). Although these structures have been extensively studied under axial impacts, a key…

An Experimentally Validated Finite Element Model of the Lower Limb to Investigate the Efficacy of Blast Mitigation Systems Open
Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used in the battlefield cause damage to vehicles and their occupants. The injury burden to the casualties is significant. The biofidelity and practicality of current methods for assessing current protect…

Mapping the Risk of Fracture of the Tibia From Penetrating Fragments Open
Penetrating injuries are commonly inflicted in attacks with explosive devices. The extremities, and especially the leg, are the most commonly affected body areas, presenting high risk of infection, slow recovery, and threat of amputation. …

A New Understanding of the Mechanism of Injury to the Pelvis and Lower Limbs in Blast Open
Dismounted complex blast injury (DCBI) has been one of the most severe forms of trauma sustained in recent conflicts. This injury has been partially attributed to limb flail; however, the full causative mechanism has not yet been fully det…

Lateral pressure equalisation as a principle for designing support surfaces to prevent deep tissue pressure ulcers Open
When immobile or neuropathic patients are supported by beds or chairs, their soft tissues undergo deformations that can cause pressure ulcers. Current support surfaces that redistribute under-body pressures at vulnerable body sites have no…

Experimental platforms to study blast injury Open
Injuries sustained due to attacks from explosive weapons are multiple in number, complex in nature, and not well characterised. Blast may cause damage to the human body by the direct effect of overpressure, penetration by highly energised …

Strain rate dependence of internal pressure and external bulge in human intervertebral discs during axial compression Open
Intervertebral discs (IVDs) lie between vertebrae of the spine. An understanding of their material behavior is of interest for research studies associated with injuries sustained during vehicle accidents, airplane ejections, sports injurie…

Material Properties Of Bovine Intervertebral Discs Across Strain Rates - Dataset Open
Raw experimental data from axial compression tests of each of the bovine intervertebral disc specimens and the .dat files from each of the subject specific FE models at each strain rate.

Material properties of bovine intervertebral discs across strain rates Open
The intervertebral disc (IVD) is a complex structure responsible for distributing compressive loading to adjacent vertebrae and allowing the vertebral column to bend and twist. To study the mechanical behaviour of individual components of …
