    Abstract

    Textile composites are lightweight, strong as compared over the conventional materials and thus have found application in many areas, particularly in protective textiles. This research is a part of work carried out for the manufacturing and evaluation of riot helmet shells having continuous textile reinforcement. A single-piece continuous textile reinforced riot police helmet shells have been developed. Moreover, the developed helmets were impact tested and the results were compared with the simulated model results. These series of papers involves creation of a geometric model, simulation and evaluation. The current paper describes the development of a geometric model and its simulation in finite element software ABAQUS.
