  • Abstract:
  • A motorcycle helmet is a protective asset for the prevention of head injuries caused by different impact forces. In this project, a standard motorcycle helmet is designed using CATIA V5.0. Two materials i.e. Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and Poly vinyl chloride(PVC) are being used for dynamic analysis. The impact test analysis is performed on the helmet using ANSYS at different speeds ranging from 50-70 kmph. Peak acceleration and Head Injury Criterion values derived from the head form are used to assess the protective performance of the helmet. The stresses, strains and deformations formed are evaluated. Results are compared for the prediction of material that would be suitable for the preparation of helmet.
