Abstract

A linear, visco- elastic, distributed mass model developed to produce values of local stress, strain, strain energy density, and other traditional material failure indicants as a function of time has been exposed to a wide range of expected impact scenarios. The results of these analytical experiments are then used to determine the ability of several currently popular injury indices, to predict the extent and severity of structural damage within the model based on each of the traditional failure indicators.
