Investigation of Shock Wave Propagation in Soft Tissue Simulants: An Analysis of Organic Gelatin and Synthetic Gel

  • This study investigates the effects of shock waves on soft tissue simulants, focusing on organic gelatin and a synthetic gel. Although extensive research has focused on the mechanical properties of soft tissue simulants, their behavior under shock wave conditions, such as those caused by blasts, is less understood. As explosives are increasingly used in modern combat scenarios, it is essential to study how shock waves interact with soft tissue. This knowledge is crucial for improving protective equipment and evaluating blast effects on the human body. A two-phase methodology was applied: First, organic gelatin production and synthetic gel composition were analyzed, identifying uncertainties and measuring sound speeds at varying temperatures to align with human tissue properties. Second, simulants were subjected to free-field shock waves, and embedded pressure sensors captured wave propagation, peak overpressures, and propagation velocity. Findings provide comparative insights intoThis study investigates the effects of shock waves on soft tissue simulants, focusing on organic gelatin and a synthetic gel.
