Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to make an assessment on the performance of an FRP helmet-head system subjected to ballistic impact. Firstly, an FE model for human head is developed in which it mainly consists of scalp, skull, meanings, cerebrospinal fluid, brain tissue, falx, tentorium, face and neck. Constitutive models for each component of the head are determined and, in particular, strain rate effects of the compact bone of skull and the hyperelastic property of scalp are taken into account for the first tim… Show more
