Traumatic brain injuries and the effects they can bring are becoming the main focus among researchers and physicians. Cycling is the leading sport with the most traumatic brain injuries, but the design of the cycling helmet has stayed the same for decades now. The technology of a bike is constantly getting developed and testing but the helmet is lagging behind. This project consists of designing and testing different cycling helmets through ANSYS simulations to determine the ideal geometry and features a cycling helmet must include, reducing the stress that the head experiences upon impact during a fall.
