The Use of Models in the Study of Wound Ballistics

Abstract

An overall description is presented of some of the characteristics of a new generalized wound ballistics model that is in the process of development. The model is probabilistic, and it is being formulated so as to allow evolving modifications as improved input data become available or new requirements put on the type of outputs desired. Included are descriptions of a number of modeling methods that are used to generate input data for the generalized model; among these are physical, biological, and mathematical models.
