Dissecting a cut
This post provides an in-depth analysis of a cutting motion, giving details about the trajectory of the sword and the power generation mechanisms involved.
Sword Measurement Protocol
In this post I share a detailed measurement protocol for swords and a measuring sheet that are intended to facilitate the collection of new data.
Modelling impacts and damage
This article is an attempt at the physical modellisation of weapon impact – blunt, cutting or thrusting. It explores how damage, represented as depth of penetration, depends on various properties of the target and weapon, and how difficult it can be to predict damage.
A dynamic method for weighing swords
Here is a link to my article about weighing swords. Learn a practical way to measure the mass distribution of swords, or at least the aspects of it that have a significant effect on handling properties.
