Research Applications in Underbody BlastCDT Ruth Talbott ’20 and Dr. Becky Zifchock travelled to Adelphi, MD to meet with scientists and engineers from Army Research Lab, Weapons and Materials Research Directorate (ARL- WMRD), and Wake Forest University. Talbott has been working with Dr. Zifchock on the design and validation of a device to assess the torsional stiffness of combat boots. The device has recently caught the attention of Army researchers engaged in the analysis and mitigation of injury associated with underbody blast. During the visit, Talbott and Dr. Zifchock learned about ongoing research initiatives at ARL- WMRD, worked with their collaborators to improve the design and validity of the torsional stiffness measurement device, and observed simulated underbody blast testing on custom anthropometric test dummies (ATDs). In addition to the design improvements to the torsional stiffness measurement device, the visit allowed the participants to hone the scope of their research for ongoing collaboration.
