Localized deformation in soft solids around spherical cavities
… car crashes, traumatic brain injury, and ballistic impacts can produce strain rates from 10−10^5 1/s. The parameters governing failure in these soft solids (moduli < 1 MPa) are challenging to quantify, requiring modifications or defying the use of traditional characterization techniques. …

Development of mechano-active organic materials for shock wave energy dissipation
… personnel and machinery from explosions and ballistic impacts. Although current protective armors often prevent physical injuries by stopping shrapnel or bullets, the shock waves generated by explosions or ballistic impacts can still cause psychological and cognitive injuries as they pass …

Development of novel dynamic indentation techniques for soft tissue applications
… when designing equipment to protect against ballistic impacts. Acquiring experimental data for brain tissue response is critical to developing appropriate models. Current in vivo and in situ procedures for testing the material behavior of soft tissues are dominated by indentation techniques. …

Reduced-order modeling of granular intrusions driven by continuum approaches
Granular intrusions such as ballistic impacts, vehicular and animal locomotion in natural terrains, and stirring of materials in industrial processes are common. Granular media often exhibits coupled solid-like and fluid-like multiphase characteristics in such systems that are commonly not shown by …

Fibrous Membranes in Personal Protective Applications
… cuts, and injuries from sharp objects or even ballistic impacts. Fibrous materials of different forms have found their uses in both respiratory protection and protective clothing. For example, when used as filters in respirators and face masks, fibrous membranes can act as excellent barriers to …
