Target for simulating biological subjects

摘要

The invention is in the field of testing technologies, relating more particularly to equipment used in certification tests and in forensic investigations into dynamic mechanical effects upon biological subject. The target comprises a means to simulate a biological subject, which has the the form of blocks 1, 2, and 3 arranged consecutively, one after another. Each of the blocks 1, 2, and 3 comprises a simulating section in the form of a layer of a material, whose mechanical properties approximate those of the skin, muscle, or bone tissue, and a recording section in the form of a layer 5 of a colorant-containing material, a layer 6 of a cellular material, and two substrates 7, wherebetween is accomodated the layer 4 of the simulating section. Vulcanized rubber is used for the material to simulate the skin tissue, unvulcanized rubber for the material to simulate the muscle tissue, and textolite for the material to simulate the bone tissue. The target affords test results of higher reliability and simplifies the testing and data processing procedures.
