Abstract
Abstract— Formula 1 cars are one of the finest track machines, they can travel at speeds up to 375 km/h, at such speed the car may lose traction or due to any other conditions there can be prospects of a crash. To protect the driver from such highspeed crashes, head protection Halo devices can be used to protect the upper portion of the driver which includes the head, neck, and thorax. In this study, a Halo device which is an official Formula 1 safety device is studied and numerous analyses are performed on it. Furthermore, a Halo design is structured and modeled in SolidWorks by taking the best material suitable for the Halo device. The analysis is performed on the ANSYS software where all the results are evaluated, by performing Explicit Dynamics analysis, Modal Analysis, and Static structural analysis after positive results are gained from the analysis, it was concluded that Titanium of Grade 5 was the best suitable material for the Halo device. Keywords— Explicit Dynamics, Halo, Formula 1, Crashworthiness, Modal, FEA
