Dynamic Mechanical Modeling of Protective Glove Materials Under Impact Loading

工作场所伤害仍然发生，尽管协调一致的努力，以避免，尽量减少和减少其对加拿大人的生活和福祉的影响。在工伤类型中，上肢（臂、肩、腕和手）受伤最常见（仅次于躯干受伤）。这项工作中要进行的研究范围侧重于手背保护，以通过吸收冲击能量来减少与冲击有关的工作场所伤害的严重程度。该提案解决了加拿大公司的 ** 需求，即建立有关材料的技术知识，以实现材料使用和 ** 开发方面的创新，从而提高产品性能，并确保与加拿大知识产权生产的竞争产品 ** 的市场份额。具体来说，这项研究将表征和 ** 模拟材料在受到冲击时的机械反应，以模拟手背工伤。研究的影响将通过更好地理解材料 ** 在动态机械载荷下的宏观行为以及材料的分子结构 ** 如何促进这种响应之间的关系来实现，以便可以使用专业知识开发或选择新材料。

Workplace injuries still occur despite concerted efforts to avoid, minimize, and reduce their affect on the lives**and well being of Canadians. Of the types of injuries exhibited on job-sties, injuries to the upper extremities**(arms, shoulders, wrists, and hands) are of the most prevalent (second most occurring after injuries to the**trunk). The scope of the research to be performed in this work focuses on back of hand protection to reduce the**severity of impact-related workplace injuries through absorption of impact energy. The proposal addresses the**needs of Canadian companies to build technical knowledge about materials to enable innovation in use and**development of materials to improve product performance and secure market shares with competitive products**manufactured with intellectual property generated in Canada. Specifically, this research will characterize and**model the mechanical response of materials when impacted to simulate back of hand workplace injuries.**Impacts of the research will be realized in better understanding of the relationships between how materials**behave macroscopically under dynamic mechanical loads and how the molecular structures of materials**contribute to such response, so that new materials can be developed or selected using specialized knowledge.
