Abstract: Collaborative research between the disciplines of forensic pathology and biomechanics was undertaken to investigate the hyper-elastic properties of human skin, to determine the force required for sharp instrument penetration of skin, and to develop a finite element model, which reflects the mechanisms of sharp instrument penetration. These studies have led to the development of a ‘‘stab metric,’ ’ based on simula-tions, to describe the force magnitudes in stabbing incidents. Such a metric should, in time, replace the crudely quantitative descriptors of stabbing forces currently used by forensic pathologists
