Design and impact response analysis of a novel thoracic physical model
-
摘要: 为系统评估非致命动能弹丸对人体胸部的冲击安全性,设计并制备了一种结构可调、兼容仿真实验的一体化三肋胸部物理模型。首先通过弹体发射平台,在29和61 m/s速度下对SIR-X弹丸模型进行了刚性壁动力学验证,获得的力-时间曲线与北约AEP-99标准走廊吻合良好,证明了弹丸模型的可靠性。进一步使用该弹丸进行了56和86.5 m/s速度下的胸部冲击实验,测得胸壁位移及黏性准则的最大值(maximum viscosity criterion,VCmax,βvc,max)均落入AEP-99标准验证走廊范围内,表明该模型在中低速冲击(≤90 m/s)条件下具有良好的动态响应一致性和预测精度。其中56和86.5 m/s速度下的仿真与试验胸壁位移最大相对误差分别为16%和21%。弹丸硬度提高(从软到硬)在56和86.5 m/s工况下使VCmax分别由0.298 m/s升至0.336 m/s、由0.765 m/s升至0.856 m/s,高能工况放大效应更显著。肋间距在基准肋间距的80%~120%范围内变化时,对峰值位移和接触力的影响约±6%,VCmax波动范围为5.7%~6.2%,整体处于工程可接受范围内。与SHTIM(surrogate human thorax for impact model)对比,本文模型在56、86.5 m/s下的位移-时间响应更贴合走廊中线(βvc,max=0.308, 0.803 m/s,均在推荐区间),SHTIM在高能工况略低于下限,验证了本模型在响应精度与伤害判据一致性上的优势。针对NS、CONDOR、SIR-X和RB1FS等4种典型弹丸,在60~90 m/s速度范围内开展系统仿真,揭示了不同弹丸结构和材料对胸部损伤风险的影响机制。高速冲击(100~120 m/s)下,模型软组织层主导能量吸收与耗散,肋骨层峰值应力随速度显著升高并超过屈服极限,存在严重骨折风险。厚度敏感性分析显示,软组织层厚度对吸能和变形的调控作用最突出。Abstract: In order to systematically evaluate the impact safety of human chest impacted by non-lethal kinetic projectiles (NLKP), an integrated three-rib thoracic physical model with a configurable structure was developed, which was compatible with both simulation and experimental testing. The projectile representation was first validated through rigid-wall impacts at 29 m/s and 61 m/s on a controllable gas-launch platform. The measured force–time histories agreed well with the NATO Allied Engineering Publication-99 (AEP-99), corridors, confirming the fidelity of the projectile model. Impact experiments on chest were then conducted using the validated projectile model at 56 m/s and 86.5 m/s. The measured chest-wall displacements and the maximum value of the viscous criterion (VCmax, βvc,max) fell within the validation corridors specified in the AEP-99, demonstrating that the proposed model exhibits dynamic-response consistency and predictive accuracy under medium- and low-velocity impacts at or below 90 m/s. Among them, the maximum relative errors between simulated and experimental displacements at 56 m/s and 86.5 m/s are 16% and 21%, respectively. A projectile hardness scan (soft/medium/hard) showed that VCmax increased from 0.298 m/s to 0.336 m/s at 56 m/s and from 0.765 m/s to 0.856 m/s at 86.5 m/s, indicating a more pronounced risk amplification at higher energies. When the rib spacing varies within the range of 80%−120% of the baseline rib spacing, its effect on the peak displacement and contact force is approximately ±6%, and VCmax fluctuates within 5.7%−6.2%, which is generally within the engineering acceptable range. Compared with the surrogate human thorax for impact model (SHTIM), the proposed model adhered more closely to the corridor mid-line at 56, 86.5 m/s, and yielded VCmax values of 0.308, 0.803 m/s (both within the recommended ranges), whereas the SHTIM slightly underestimated the high-energy case, confirming the model advantage in response fidelity and criterion consistency. A systematic simulation was conducted for impact responses by four typical projectiles (NS, CONDOR, SIR-X, and RB1FS) within the velocity range of 60–90 m/s, elucidating the influence mechanisms of projectile structure and material on thoracic injury risk. Under higher speed impact (100–120 m/s), the soft tissue layer of the model dominates energy absorption and dissipation, while the peak stress in the rib layer increases significantly with velocity and exceeds the yield limit, indicating a high risk of fracture. Thickness sensitivity analysis reveals that the thickness of the soft tissue layer plays the most prominent role in regulating energy absorption and deformation. These findings provide important theoretical and technical support for NLKP impact injury assessment and the optimization of protective equipment.
