Abstract

A motorcycle helmet is very essential to protect the head of driver and it is directly connected to driver's life. Prior to producing the helmet, it has to be passed the process of impact test to evaluate its safety. This test evaluates peak acceleration and head injury criteria (H.I.C.). This paper simulates the 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.
