This paper investigates the response of an idealized three-dimensional model of thorax to pressure impulses of duration T in the range 50oTo200 ms: These very short loading durations are met when a high-velocity projectile (about 800 m s ร1 ) is stopped by a rigid body armor. Such impacts are deemed
