Helmet designs have evolved over the last three millennia and the use of helmet may be as old as warfare itself. In 600 B.C. the Greeks in Sparta crafted single-piece helmet from bronze, which provided complete head protection, leaving only narrow slits in front for vision and for ventilation. Later in 250 B.C.

Finite Element Simulation of Ballistic Impact in Survivability Studies

45th AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics & Materials Conference, 2004
*† The analysis of a projectile impacting an object at high velocity is of great importance to the survivability community. The probability of a kill given a hit for a component is based upon projectile mass and velocity. Therefore the mass and velocity at impact, as well as the residual mass and velocity after impact, must be known.

Computational simulation of fabric armour subjected to ballistic impacts

International Journal of Impact Engineering, 2006
In computational simulations of ballistic impacts on woven polymeric fabric armour, specialized fabric models are normally used. Attempts have also been made to use commercial finite element packages for such purposes. However, such attempts normally result in either overly simplified models or prohibitively detailed finite element discretization of ...
