This paper investigates measurement techniques to evaluate ballistic impact protection in terms of head contact loads from non penetrating impacts on helmets. An aluminium head form instrumented with piezo-electric ...

Recently published research has characterised the behind armour blunt trauma (BABT) effects associated with high velocity ballistic impact on textile-based armour faced with a ceramic plate. Subsequently dynamic displacements, ...

It has become standard practice for Police Authorities to issue stab resistant body armour to all officers who are placed at risk of knife assault. Subsequently if the officer is subjected to a knife attack it has been ...
