Main Results:

  • Identified the minimum axial force causing tibia fracture.
  • Determined critical floor plate velocities for fracture at various leg angles.
  • Found aluminum honeycomb more effective than IMPAXX foam in mitigating blast effects.

Conclusions:

  • The validated model accurately predicts tibia response and fracture.
  • Aluminum honeycomb offers superior blast injury prevention for vehicular floors.
  • Findings can inform the design of protective military equipment.
