A ribcage capable of surviving the bite of a Tyrannosaurus Rex

What existing material (e.g. 410 steel, no unobtanium) and what thickness should the ribcage of a creature (of humanoid size and shape, let's say it's a genetically-engineered human) have, to survive the bite of a Tyrannosaurus Rex?

The bite's strength can be up to 430,000 pounds per square inch in certain areas.

Deformation and breaking are allowed, but it has to hold enough to keep the organs inside from being turned into goo and killing the unlucky individual.

I know that the poor guy is probably dead even with his ribcage having resisted the bite, but I'm interested specifically in the ribcage and the organs inside. Death by bleeding and other non-ribcage damage can be ignored. Please do not try this at home. (... please do not even have a T-Rex at home)
