[0002] The killing effect of bullets and fragments on personnel and the protection effect of body armor on personnel are important factors to be considered in the design of weapon equipment. Studying the blunt impact effect and influencing factors of bullet heads or fragments on the human body can provide important references for the design of light weapons and the optimization of human body protection equipment.
[0003] Currently, the target used in research mainly includes biological targets, non-biological targets and finite element targets. Non-biological targets use analogues similar to the physical response of human tissues to replace the human body, such as ballistic gelatin, putty, soap and other materials to simulate the human body for ballistic tests. The accuracy of finite element target simulation essentially depends on the quality of the model geometry and material mechanics performance, and the basic data required for its optimization and verification come from experiments. The application of these targets is greatly limited, and they are not ideal ballistic test targets.
[0004] Among the existing human body targets, gelatin is mainly used as the main material, which cannot be stored for a long time. In addition, there are transparent gel human body targets, which do not place internal organs and sensors, and their application is limited. SUMMARY

[0022] Combination Figure 1 This embodiment of a protective blunt impact testing system based on a bionic human torso target includes: a bionic human torso target, pressure sensors 2-5, an accelerometer 6, an optical fiber sensor 1, a fiber optic demodulator 13, a charge amplifier 14, a data acquisition unit 15, and a host computer 16.
[0023] The biomimetic human torso target has a biomimetic structure and sensor components; the sensor components are arranged inside the target for collecting test data.
[0024] The sensor assembly includes an accelerometer 6, an optical fiber sensor 1, and pressure sensors 2-5; the bionic structure includes a bionic skeleton, bionic muscles, and bionic organs; the bionic organs include a bionic heart 18, a bionic liver 20, and bionic lungs (bionic right lung 17 and bionic left lung 19);
[0025] Combination Figures 2-4 The accelerometer 6 is attached to the sternum of the bionic skeleton by adhesive bonding, the fiber optic sensor 1 is attached to the ribs of the bionic skeleton, and the pressure sensors 2-5 are respectively attached to the anterior surface of the bionic heart, bionic lungs and bionic liver.
[0026] The pressure sensor, accelerometer 6, and fiber optic sensor 1 are arranged on the bionic human torso target. The charge amplifier 14 is electrically connected to the pressure sensors 2-5 through pressure sensor data transmission bundles 8 / 9 / 11 / 12, and electrically connected to the accelerometer 6 through accelerometer data transmission bundle 10. The fiber optic demodulator 13 is optically connected to the fiber optic sensor through fiber optic sensor data transmission bundle 7. The data acquisition unit 15 is electrically connected to the charge amplifier 14. The host computer 16 is electrically connected to the fiber optic demodulator 13 and the data acquisition unit 15.
[0027] The data acquisition device 15 is a high dynamic range multi-channel multi-functional data acquisition device, and the host computer 16 is a PC computer and control software.
[0028] The bionic skeleton is a PVC skeleton derived from medical teaching aids products.
[0029] The biomimetic muscle is made of SEBS gel.
[0030] The biomimetic muscle tissue mimic uses styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) gel, which is mainly synthesized from SEBS powder and white mineral oil, both of which are commercial products.
[0031] The synthesis method is as follows: 1. Weigh SEBS powder and white mineral oil according to the desired gel mass fraction. Taking a 15% mass fraction as an example, when preparing 100g of SEBS gel, weigh 15g of SEBS powder and 85g of white mineral oil. 2. Preheat the white mineral oil, then pour in the SEBS powder and stir to mix. 3. Place the mixture in an environment of 130℃~150℃ and let it stand. 4. Wait for the SEBS powder to completely melt and form a transparent solution. 5. Remove the solution and cool to room temperature to obtain the SEBS gel. The quasi-static mechanical properties of the 15% mass fraction SEBS gel were measured, showing a high similarity to real muscle tissue, such as... Figure 5 .
[0032] The bionic heart, bionic lungs, and bionic liver are made of silicone in different proportions.
[0033] The silicone is a condensation-type industrial silicone, mainly composed of silicone colloid, curing agent, and silicone oil. Adding a certain proportion of curing agent to the silicone colloid cures the silicone. The hardness of the silicone can be adjusted using silicone oil, thus simulating different internal organs. Quasi-static mechanical tests were conducted on multiple proportions to obtain three material proportions that most closely approximate the mechanical properties of internal organs, such as... Figure 6 The silicone ratios are based on a mass ratio of colloid:silicone oil:curing agent. The bionic lung ratio is 19:76:5. The bionic liver ratio is 8:5:2. The bionic heart ratio is 55:36:9.
[0034] The bionic heart, bionic lungs, and bionic liver are manufactured as follows: 1. Prepare a silicone mold; 2. Mix silicone colloid, silicone oil, and curing agent in proportion to prepare the silicone mixture; 3. Pour the mixture into the mold; 4. Wait for it to cure before demolding.
[0035] The method for fabricating a bionic human torso target is as follows: 1. Use strong adhesive to attach an accelerometer to the inside of the sternum and a fiber optic sensor to the ribs. 2. Suspend the skeleton in a stainless steel mold (bionic muscle tissue mold). 3. Suspend the integrated heart, lung, and liver aluminum model inside the skeleton. 4. Prepare SEBS gel (bionic muscle tissue). 5. Perform the first pour until the SEBS gel submerges half of the integrated heart, lung, and liver aluminum model. 6. After the SEBS gel cools, remove the integrated heart, lung, and liver aluminum model, leaving a depression. 7. According to actual testing requirements, attach PVDF pressure sensors to the front surface of the silicone heart, lung, and liver model. 8. Place the silicone heart, lung, and liver model into the depression left by the aluminum model. 9. Pour the second SEBS gel until the entire bionic organ is submerged. 10. After the SEBS gel cools, perform a third pour until the entire skeleton is submerged. The entire process is not limited to three pours; the number of pours can be increased as needed. 11. Demold after cooling.
