Analytic Simulation of Tissue Damage from Penetrating Wounds to the Heart
Abstract
ATK Mission Research was sponsored by DARPA's Virtual Soldier program to analytically simulate residual wound tracts and tissue dynamics associated with a survivable wound from an explosively driven fragment penetrating the left ventricular wall of the human heart. The resulting ATK Mission Research wound description was used in the DARPA/University of Michigan Virtual Soldier program as initial conditions for describing blood loss and occurrence of hemorrhagic shock. The DARPA/ATK Mission Research Statement of Work (SOW) is included as Appendix A.
