Designing flocked energy-absorbing material layers into sport and military helmet pads

A systematic study is reported on applying flocked energy-absorbing materials (FEAM) to designing sport and military helmet pad structures. An executed parametric study shows that the impact force absorbing (IFA) properties of FEAM elements are optimized when using (a) higher denier flock fiber (60...
