Description

TIAX proposes to modify our proprietary polymeric product into a low-cost skin simulant for use in less-than-lethal munitions testing. We will use finite element analysis (FEA) to develop a model of skin penetration when impacted with less-than-lethal munitions. The FEA model will employ a material model for the skin that will be developed using data from the literature as well as from tests that we perform on sample skin simulants that we fabricate in our laboratories.
