Abstract
The paper presents and describes the procedure of testing the materials that were available for the production of a multifunctional protective helmet. The procedure was carried out at the company Šestan-Busch d.o.o. as part of the EU project for the development and production of a multifunctional protective helmet. The test results showed that carbon fibers polymers as a composite material have the best impact absorption properties which was a key criterion for material selection. Other materials; glass fibers polymers, aramid fibers polymers and combinations in the test procedure showed worse results compared to the selected criterion.
Keywords
