Analyses of the human bones failure mechanisms under projectile impact conditions can be made through performing a large number ballistic trials. But amount data that collected during experiments is limited due to high dynamics process and its destructive character. Numerical analyses may support experimental methodologies allowing better understand principles phenomenon. Therefore, main aim study was create verify numerical model commercially available synthetic bone material-Synbone®. The...
