Samenvatting

The energy absorption effect of helmets is tested at an impact speed of 25km /h (not including the secondary impact). Based on the required protection effect of the helmet, the possibilities of a mathematical analysis of energy absorption are described in this contribution. By varying the crash energy and helmet parameters such as shell thickness, density and thickness of padding, the resultant possibilities of system optimization are pointed out.
