An nstrumented thoracic model for measuring the effects of impacts is provided. The model has simulated skeletal components, simulated tissue, simulated internal organs, and sensors that are optimally placed in the simulated tissue and organs, said simulated organs and said simulated skeletal components. Simulated human tissue is made of a modified ballistic gelatin, comprising ordinance gelatin, chilled water and an antimicrobial agent in a desired volume or weight percentage. The resulting mixture is then poured into a container or mold having the desired tissue shape, and then chilled until the mixture has set. Simulated lung tissue is made of the modified ballistic gelatin, but also incorporates nicrospheres to approximate the density and modality of the lungs. The sensors of the thoracic model are optimally placed using primary component analysis
