Abstract

Abstract: This work focuses on the improvement of the impact protection of a motorcyclist protective equipment under the influence of higher temperature. A created composite shell was added to a foam shoulder protector SAS-TEC SCL-2. A drop test was carried out for protector itself and protector including the composite shell. Both, the foam protector and the combined foam/composite protector, were exposed to the three different temperatures, namely 22, 40, and 50 °C, for one hour prior the experiment.
