High-velocity blast effects, such as those produced by explosions from high explosives, can cause penetrating trauma from shrapnel. The force of the blast propels fragments of debris at high speeds, impacting and penetrating the body. These penetrating injuries can lead to severe damage to tissues and organs.
A blast effect that causes penetrating trauma due to shrapnel is known as a fragmentation blast effect. Shrapnel refers to the fragments of materials propelled by the explosion, causing injuries by penetrating the body.
Penetrating trauma caused by shrapnel is usually attributed to the "shrapnel effect" in a blast. This occurs when the blast wave from an explosion propels objects or fragments at high velocity, causing penetration of the surrounding structures and potentially injuring humans in the vicinity.
Penetrating trauma caused by shrapnel results in a primary blast injury. This type of injury occurs when fragments from an explosive device enter the body and cause damage to tissues and organs. Treatment for this type of injury may involve surgery to remove the shrapnel and repair any damaged structures.
The intense blast wave from a nuclear detonation is responsible for causing lung damage and ruptured eardrums. The rapid change in air pressure can lead to these injuries by creating a powerful shockwave that propagates outward from the explosion.

Secondary blast effect
The blast effect that causes trauma by shrapnel is primarily known as "fragmentation." When an explosive device detonates, it generates a shock wave and produces debris or shrapnel from the casing or surrounding materials. This high-velocity debris can cause severe injuries, penetrating wounds, and lacerations to individuals in the vicinity. The extent of trauma often depends on the size, velocity, and material of the shrapnel as well as the proximity of the victims to the explosion.
The detonation of an atomic weapon turns the bomb casing into superheated gas, so it does not produce fragments (shrapnel). However, the physical force of the blast will turn other objects into missiles, which can produce injury.
It can withstand some blast and shrapnel. It would depend on the strength of the detonation.
Sure! If your ears are in the way of flying shrapnel, the shrapnel can tear up the outsides of the ears. If you get hit directly on the sides of your head, the shrapnel can cut into your inner ear and deafen you.
