A simplified constitutive model for a SEBS gel muscle simulant - Development and experimental validation for finite elements simulations of handgun and rifle ballistic impacts

Riccardo Andreotti, Valentina Leggewri, Andrea Casaroli, Mauro Quercia, Cristian Bettin, Mauro Zanella, Marco V. Boniardi

An original simplified constitutive model is proposed to simulate the effects of ballistic impacts on blocks of synthetic muscle simulant based on mineral oil and styrene ethylene-butylene styrene polymers (SEBS) as a convenient substitute…
