The Finite Element Analusis of Ventilative Motorcycle Helmets

In Taiwan, a motorcycle is the most important and general transportation. It is no denying that wearing a motorcycle helmet could prevent the rider from head injuries in the accidents. However, the ventilation of helmets still has to be improved. This study aims to set several ventilation channels in the energy absorption liner. They apply the Venturi effect to increase the ventilation of helmets. But it may affect the protection performance of helmet. The purpose of this study is to estimate the protective ability of the ventilative helmet.
Therefore, the various ventilative helmets are designed by the computer-aided design software SolidWorks, and simulations of the impact test of the helmet are investigated by the finite element analysis software ANSYS/LS-DYNA. In addition, the effect of using different foam material is also discussed in this study.
