Modeling the biodynamical response of the human thorax with body armor from a bullet impact.

The objective of this study is to develop a finite element model of the human thorax with a protective body armor system so that the model can adequately determine the thorax's biodynamical response from a projectile impact. The finite element model of the human thorax consists of the thoracic...
