Behind Armour Blunt Trauma (BABT) occurs when body armour deforms, causing injury without perforation. Understanding BABT mechanisms is crucial for developing protective materials for military personnel.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Trauma Research
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Behind Armour Blunt Trauma (BABT) is a critical injury risk in modern body armour.
  • Increasing projectile energy and lighter armour designs exacerbate BABT risks for military and security forces.
  • Understanding BABT mechanisms is essential for developing effective protective materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the mechanisms of Behind Armour Blunt Trauma (BABT).
  • To inform the development of trauma attenuating backings (TABs) for body armour.
  • To characterize the biophysical processes and injury consequences of BABT.

Main Methods:

  • Investigating the role of stress waves and shear deformation in BABT.
  • Developing physical and computer models to simulate BABT.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analyzing the patho-physiological consequences of BABT, comparing them to civilian blunt trauma and blast injuries.

    • Main Results:

    • BABT mechanism likely involves stress waves from armour rear-motion and shear deformation of viscera.
    • Models are being developed to characterize biophysical processes and set performance targets for TABs.
    • Research is clarifying the patho-physiological consequences, noting similarities to blunt chest trauma and primary blast injury.

    Conclusions:

    • Knowledge of BABT mechanisms is vital for creating advanced protective materials.
    • Trauma attenuating backings (TABs) are key to mitigating BABT injuries.
    • Further research will refine understanding and improve soldier protection against non-penetrating ballistic trauma.
