Abstract

A motorcycle helmet is the best means to protect the head of bike's driver and it is directly connected to a driver's life. Prior to producing of the helmet, it has to be passed the process of impact test to evaluate of its safety. This test evaluates peak acceleration and H.I.C (Head Injury Criteria). This paper analyzes impact test with finite element method to find the behavior of helmet during the test. Also, the effect of impact sites on the helmet was evaluated to improve the thickness distribution of the helmet.
