When a droplet impacts a fabric mesh at a sufficiently high impact velocity, it not only
spreads over the fabric but also penetrates its pores. To determine the influence of this liquid …

This study was designed to produce the first baseline measure of the reliability of bloodstain
pattern classifications on fabric surfaces. Experienced bloodstain pattern analysts classified …

The underlying physics in bloodstain formation on fabrics is not well understood, despite its
importance in bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA). This paper presents a fundamental study of …

This paper discusses the effects of thickness, mass per unit area, sett, yarn linear density
and twist of calico fabrics (100% cotton, plain woven) on the morphology of passive …

Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) of bloodstains on hard, non-porous surfaces has found
widespread use in crime scene analysis and reconstruction for violent crimes in which …

Blood microsampling is desired in clinical, pharmaceutical and biomedical fields to
overcome the challenges of conventional whole blood sampling. One of the popular …

The interaction of blood and fabrics is currently a⿿ hot topic⿿, since the understanding and
interpretation of these stains is still in its infancy. A recent simplified perpendicular impact …

As a passive blood drop impacts a hard surface, it is observed to collapse and spread
laterally, then retract and settle. During the spreading phase, the edge of the drop may rise …

Textiles may provide valuable bloodstain evidence to help piece together events or activities
at violent crime scenes. However, in spite of over 75 years of research, there are still …

This work characterizes fundamental features of static drip patterns simulated for forensic
bloodstain pattern analysis. The purpose of this study was to determine if and how two …
