Application of the mechanical deflection sensor in blast research

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Miyambo, M Date: Oct 2013 The anti-vehicular landmines (AVLs) and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are utilised to affect the mobility of military forces in order to inhibit their operations. These devices disable and destroy vehicles while injuring or killing the ... Read more

Blast overpressure effects of PE4 on a simplified rigid torso

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Schutte, Zelldra ; Ahmed, Rayeesa Date: Nov 2019 Primary Blast Injuries (PBI) are caused by the propagating shock wave, associated with High-order Explosives (HE), that moves through the body, affecting gas-containing and fluid-surrounded organs, such as the lungs, the middle ear, the brain ... Read more
Characterisation of a Mechanical Deflection Sensor

Author: Miyambo, M ; Pandelani, Thanyani A Date: Oct 2012 The Mechanical Deflection Sensor (MDS) is used to measure the simulated positive dynamic deformation of a blast plate, when it is impacted by a spring powered Lower Limb Impactor (LLI) plate. Read more
The design of a modified lower limb impactor to assess lower limb injury at typical blast loading rates

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Reinecke, John D ; Sono, TJ ; Ahmed, R ; Beetge, FJ ; Nkosi, P ; Dicks, P ; Nurick, GN Date: Jan 2014 Anti-Vehicular Landmines (AVLs), under-belly Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) or even side-attack IEDs are found to be some of the major threats for military vehicles and their occupants [1]. The lower extremities of the occupants are very ... Read more
The effect of tibia element on the tibia response due to impact loading

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Ahmed, R Date: Oct 2014 Lower leg injury risk is commonly assessed using lower limb surrogates. The HIII and the THOR-Lx has been shown to have low biofidelity due to their geometry and material properties. A new surrogate (the MIL-Lx) was developed to address these ... Read more
Evaluation of dynamic response characteristics of the MiL-Lx leg compared to the Thor-Lx leg

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A Date: Oct 2011 Anti-vehicular (AV) landmines and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) are utilized to disable and destroy vehicles and to injure and kill the occupants. They present not only a threat to vehicle occupants during times of conflict, but their ... Read more
The evaluation of MiL-Lx and Hybrid III Leg using Hybrid III and EUROSID2-re Anthropomorphic Test Devices

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A Date: Sep 2012 This paper presents the evaluation of the injury measurement response of the Hybrid III and ES2re ATD’s using both the HIII and MiL-Lx instrumented lower legs as loaded by the Modified Lower Limb Impactor (MLLI). Read more
Evaluation of the South African surrogate leg for landmine protection injury measurements

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Reinecke, John D ; Beetge, F Date: Jan 2010 For troop mobility and safety during peacekeeping operations, protection against landmines is key. Vehicle landmine protection validation testing is an integral part of military equipment procurement process and serves as an important technical ... Read more
Experimental and numerical validation of a simplified rigid torso surrogate used for investigating the fluid-structure interaction of air blast waves

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Schutte, Zelldra ; Wium, Elsmari Date: Sep 2018 Blast waves from landmines and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) produce an almost instantaneous rise in pressure which causes Primary Blast Injuries (PBI). The primary blast injuries are caused directly by the blast wave and encompasses ... Read more

In pursuit of vehicle landmine occupant protection: Evaluating the dynamic response characteristic of the military lower extremity leg (MiL-Lx) compared to the Hybrid III (HIII) lower leg

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Reinecke, John D ; Beetge, F Date: 01 Sep 2010 This study presents the results of a practical investigation into the robustness of the newly developed Military Extremity (MiL-Lx) lower leg, as compared to the Hybrid III (HIII) lower leg, with respect to repeatability and reproducibility ... Read more
Lower extremity flail is implicated in fatal injury due to anti-personnel mines

Author: Carpanen, D ; Webster, C ; Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Newell, N ; Clasper, J ; Masouros, S Date: Jul 2018 The lower extremity is the most common body region injured in modern warfare which is characterised by proliferation of explosive weapons. Personnel on foot (dismounted) attacked by anti-personnel mines sustain predominantly an open pelvic ... Read more
Practical evaluation of the MiL-Lx lower leg when subjected to simulated vehicle under belly blast load conditions

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Reinecke, John D ; Philippens, M ; Dosquet, F ; Beetge, F Date: Sep 2010 This study presents the initial results pertaining to a practical investigation into the robustness of the newly developed Military Extremity (MiL-Lx) lower leg, with respect to repeatability and reproducibility under typical mine-protected ...

Proceedings of the South African Ballistics Organisation Symposium 2023, CSIR ICC, Pretoria, RSA, 9-11 May 2023

Author: Pandelani, Thanyani A Date: May 2023 One of the aims of the South African Ballistic Organisation (SABO) is to organise and host a local ballistic symposium every second year. This year SABO is hosting the 2023 symposium. The SABO 2023 Organising Committee has been overwhelmed ... Read more
Simulation of a capsule subjected to an under body blast

Author: Schutte, Zelldra ; Pandelani, Thanyani A ; Snyman, I ; Langdon, GS Date: Nov 2018 During an Under Body Blast (UBB), the seated occupants are significantly accelerated, primarily through the floor and seats, which may lead to severe injuries and fatalities. Numerous studies have captured the injury severity and lethality ... Read more
