Abstract
Abstract - In this study, to analyze the impulsive response of a helmet, a simple vibration model is presented. Based upon the experimental data and the simulation results, an equivalent one degree of freedom vibrational system is adapted, and transient impulsive responses are analysed to investigate the influence of en-gineering parameters such as damping, natural frequency, and impact velocity on the impulsive response of the helmet. Maximum gravitational acceleration reduces as the damping factor value increases. When the damping factor value is around 0.6 or larger, the maximum acceleration does not change. With respect to the natural fre-quency and the impact velocity, it increases linearly. The relationship between head injury criterion(HIC) and maximum gravitational acceleration is also presented. The scheme of this study is expected to be utilized to economize the design process of high quality helmets.Key words : Helmet, Impulse, HIC, Head Injury Criterion, G-Acceleration 1)
