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 …

Bloodstain pattern analysis is the investigation of blood deposited at crime scenes and the
interpretation of that pattern. The surface that the blood gets deposited onto could distort the …

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 …

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 …

Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is the interpretation of bloodstains at scenes of incidents;
to obtain information on what happened, how it happened and who was involved …

In criminal investigations where blood has been shed, bloodstain pattern interpretation on
fabrics can be important. To determine the relevance of bloodstain patterns on clothing …

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 …

The majority of fabrics at crime scenes have been coloured in some way. The effect of such
treatments on resultant bloodstains has not been considered. In this work, horse blood was …

Overall, the study demonstrated that fabrics may interact with, distort, and alter a bloodstain
pattern in many different and complex ways compared to bloodstains on hard surfaces …

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 …
