Impact Performance of Football Helmets
It is critical that manufacturers of football helmets are able to accurately determine how their product will distribute the shock of an impact, while protecting the head. Without sophisticated testing equipment, manufactures may not be able to accurately simulate force, geometries and other impact characteristics that the helmets may be subjected to on the playing field.
To identify how the helmet will distribute the shock and absorb the energy from an impact, we set up a test on our CEAST 9350.
The amount of force transmitted through the helmet is quantified with the Force Transmission Package. In this test, the helmet is installed onto a headform, which is then mounted onto a custom Piezo Compression Platen. Data is collected through the DAS (Data Acquistion System) and Visual Impact Software.
9400 Series Drop Tower Brochure
Instron Drop Towers are used to develop, fine tune, and validate material models. Testing materials under real impact conditions is a crucial step prior of product design. Using the characterization data obtained with the Instron 9400, coupled with customer supplied high-speed video, you can have confidence in your results and deliver new materials to your customers faster. Our Drop Tower impact systems, fixtures, and tups are designed to meet a wide range of applications and testing standards including: ISO, ASTM, ANSI, Airbus, Boeing, BSI, DIN, EN, FDA, Ford, GM, JIS, NASA, GOST, and more.
