The invention relates to a method for testing a device for protecting against piercing elements, such as ammunition or weapons with blades that can pierce human beings, said method including the following steps: providing a block of plastically deformable material; fitting the block with the protection device to be tested; applying the piercing elements to the protection device with a series of predetermined levels of energy and kinematics; measuring the sizes of the impacts of the piercing elements in the block of plastically deformable material, and obtaining a series of measurements of mechanical parameters resulting from the piercing elements; and converting the series of measurements using conversion data obtained by a conversion method according to the invention, so as to deduce therefrom the corresponding mechanical properties resulting from the piercing elements on a dummy.
Method for converting measurements of plastic deformation in a block of plastically deformable material into kinematic and energy data on a dummy for the purposes of designing protective equipment for people such as law enforcement forces and/or armed forces, comprising the following steps:
