Impact Test Lab
|
Dynamic Research, Inc. (DRI) has a fully equipped
testing laboratory to meet all helmet testing needs. Our staff has over
15 years experience in the field of helmet design, evaluation and testing.
Clients are provided with assistance in:
- Product development
- Prototype evaluation
- Product certification testing
- Quality control testing
- Accident and safety analysis
Complete certification and quality control test services
can be provided for helmet standards published by the following organizations:
- CPSC
- ISO
- ASTM
- ANSI
- DOT
- SFI
Helmet testing in accordance with all Snell Memorial
Foundation standards is also available.
DRI has developed finite element models simulating standard
impact tests of helmets that include appropriate material properties for
liners and shells. This capability allows new ideas, materials and geometries
to be evaluated prior to prototype and mold development. Helmet designs
can be quickly optimized by performing computer simulations of standard
and non-standard impact tests at a large number of impact locations on
the helmet using a variety of material configurations. This approach provides
a cost-effective approach to helmet development in that helmet designs
can be more completely evaluated in order to identify potential problem
areas and improve helmet performance, potentially reducing the development
time and the number of prototypes needed.
