Iraq has been involved in several conflicts during the last five decades. The period between 2003-2015 witnessed a dangerous and highly unstable security situation in Iraq resulting in a huge number of civilian fatalities. Accordingly, the work load was also increased on the staff of the Medicolegal Directorate (MLD) of Iraq, which houses the only forensic medicine center for performing autopsies in Baghdad. The present report provides descriptive, statistic, and some demographic data of the total number of deaths during the period 2003-2015 and post-conflict period in Iraq.Results showed that the total number of civilian dead bodies brought to the MLD for performing autopsies during the period 2003-2015 was 95,902, with an average of 7322.46 deaths per year with a mild fluctuation in the total number of deaths over all the years. The median value was 6,408 deaths. A marked elevation in the number of deaths was observed between 2004-2007 and 2014-2015. The highest number of causalities (16,867) was recorded in 2006, while the lowest number was in 2008 (4,063). Known to unknown and male to female ratio was 3.185 and 4.010, respectively. This study intends to highlight the challenges and achievements of the MLD during the conflict (2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015) and post-conflict period. The case load and identification issues presented the most important challenges for the staff at the MLD with rather limited facilities and co promised infrastructure.
In this research, a numerical investigation has been conducted to analyze the dynamic load of the composite structure. The composite structure was solved and analyzed using the static structure tool. There is a physical model that has been imported and meshes have been done accordingly. Shear stress, von-mises stress, and total deformation are all considered as part of the analysis. Using finite elements to simulate the composite structure and response to the applied loads. Because dynamic loads were regularly applied, frequency response was examined. In this study after verification of this computer simulation with experimental results and the results showed it was confidence 95 %. This percentage confidence allows proceeding numerical analysis. Deformation of the entire structure has been computed and found to be 10 mm, which is the maximum amount of overall deformation that can be caused by the applied load, In the Y-axis, a dynamic load was applied. The imposed dynamic load has been studied numerically and interpreted in terms of shear stresses. As a result of the maximum applied load, the maximum shear stress is 10 MPa. The complete composite construction was subjected to Von-Mises stress measurements. The structure's ability to withstand these stresses was determined by conducting a series of tests. The greatest von mises stress that can be applied in this study was 40 MPa. An investigation of how to react to vibration has already been carried out. In the numerical results, it was found that the reaction to the vibration was inconsistent. In terms of amplitude, the highest values may be found at 200 Hz, while the lowest values can be found at 20 Hz.
