In the DMG, there are rules which you could use if you wish to implement sustained injuries and wounds for your players (pg. 272) and while I like the idea the random table presented there doesn't really fit my ideas about such wounds and injuries. This is a table and rule I made for my home groups, I hope you like it. Feel free to use this in your own games, and if you do, tell me how it went.
Certain effects and events can cause the characters to gain long lasting or permanent injuries, wounds. Whenever a character hitpoints fall below 0, or the character takes massive damage from a single attack (equal or greater than half the maximum hitpoints) roll a d20 on the following table.

The discretionary principle for disarming (DMG p271) is as follows. A creature in dnd can use a weapon attack to knock out a weapon or another object from a goal’s grasp. The attacker makes an attack roll contested by the target’s Strength (Athletics) test or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. Suppose the attacker wins the contest, the attack causes no damage or other ill effect. But the guardian drops the item. The attacker has a drawback on its attack roll when the goal is holding the item with at least two hands. The goal has an advantage in its ability. It is to assess if it’s larger than the attacking creature or a disadvantage if it’s smaller. That is the closest thing to a general rule for Disarm 5e dnd.

Optional

You may see that the sidebar in the segment on Grappling/Shoving a Creature (Fundamental Rules p.74.) A contest symbolizes such a challenge. This section contains the most common competitions that require an action in combat. It is about Grappling and shoving a creature. The DM can make use of these contests as versions for others.

Special maneuvers

It certainly seems like the aim of a section like this would be to allow you to attempt special maneuvers (like disarming) as an action in battle. It is utilizing a contest if you are not as educated as the Battlemaster. However, as always, it’s up to the DM. As of the DMG’s launch (DMG p.271), there is an officially suggested competition for disarming attempts. (However, to be apparent, it is still an optional rule/action that may or Might Not Be present in any given DM’s match )

General rules for maneuvers are still not present. It takes training to do such things efficiently, and as a result, only the Battle Master can perform it. Tripping & disarming are generally poor choices anyhow.

Tripped: a no longer entire movement to get up, only costs part of move speed.

Disarmed: Drawing on a new weapon is essentially free (can be done as a member of a weapon attack). A significant number of monsters utilize natural attacks and not weapons.

Can you disarm a 5e shield?

A shield is made of wood or metal and is carried in 1 hand. Shields are definitely “items,” and carrying something in 1 hand is synonymous with having it on your grasp, so yes, you can easily disarm a 5e shield.

Dmg

If you reduce a monster to 0 HP in battle, you may choose to disarm that creature and abandon them at 1 HP. The attacker can make this decision the instant the damage is dealt. The attack causes no harm or other ill effect, but the protector drops the item.

The attacker may choose to ship the item flying tore property in a random distance adjacent to the target (DMs option ) by repeating the contest and winning. Otherwise, the attacker may elect to catch the thing by repeating the competition using Dexterity (Acrobatics). Catching the merchandise is a free action.

Disarming Attack (Fight Master Maneuver)

Suppose you strike a monster with a weapon attack. You can expend one superiority die to try to disarm the goal, forcing it to drop 1 item of your choice that it is holding. You add the superiority expire to the attack’s damage roll. And the target must make a Power saving throw. On a failed save, it drops the thing you pick. The object flies to property in a space adjacent to the monster (Player’s option )
