Hi Emma,
The following might be of interest:
1. Miller & Jones (1996) Kinematics of four methods of stabbing: a
preliminary study. Forensic Science International, 82, 183-190.
2. Chadwick, et al (1999) Biomechanics of knife stab attacks. Forensic
Science International, 105, 35–44.
3. Gervais et al (1998) Comparative analysis between police batons. Forensic
Science International, 91, 7-17.
In the latter, el-gon’s were used to monitor arm joint angle changes during
the course of a swing with the baton toward a wall-mounted force guage.
Fascinating stuff!! FSI makes great bed-time reading....
Good luck (I'll look forward to your summary),
Max.
