A Mathematical Model of the Probability of Perforation of the Human Skull by a Ballistic Projectile

A mathematical model for the probability of penetration of the unprotected human skull is presented which relates the energy of the projectile to the properties of the skull. The model is specifically for steel spheres and cubes but can be used for other projectile shapes or densities provided that...

description	A mathematical model for the probability of penetration of the unprotected human skull is presented which relates the energy of the projectile to the properties of the skull. The model is specifically for steel spheres and cubes but can be used for other projectile shapes or densities provided that care is taken. Constants are obtained for the probabilistic model which allow calculation of the probability of penetration or, conversely, the velocity for a given probability of penetration for a given projectile/skull thickness combination.
