"Forces required to penetrate different types of clothing to produce wounding" as a part of post-graduation thesis. The purpose of this study was to quantify the force and energy required to perforate clothing in a stab attack with a screwdriver. In the project an impact-testing machine called Rosand Instrumented Impact Testing Machine was used to quantify the parameters.
