It has been already established that continuously textile reinforced helmet shells have shown its significance over discontinuous helmet shells. This paper is a part of research carried out for the evaluation of riot helmet shells having continuous textile reinforcement. ABAQUS, finite element software, has been used for simulationand model creation. Force transmitted and energy absorption at three different impact locations of the helmet shells were evaluated from the finite element model and validated by experimental testing. Significant correlation in between finite element results and physical impact testing results has been achieved. The finite element outcomedisplays the helmet top location is the least susceptiblelocation against the impact as compared to the helmet side and helmet back location.
