Bikes involve great risk of injury from falls; among the major risks are head injuries. Therefore, it is essential to use protective elements. This project focuses on a study to analyze protection for a helmet for cyclists using the finite element method; the entire methodology of this work was based on the Snell standards. The percentage of absorbed tension was determined by simulating a frontal impact by varying the thickness of the material of the helmet (30 mm, 20 mm and 10 mm) that protects a 4.7kg sphere of solid aluminum, emulating the head of a bicyclist.
