  • Armour As a Symbolic Form
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Waffen-und Kostümkunde 26 (1984), Nr. 2, S. 77-96 Armour As a Symbolic Form By Zdzislaw Zygulski Jr. „It is perfectly possible to argue that some distinctive objects are made by the mind, and that these objects, while appearing to exist objectively, have only a fictional reality." E. W. Said, Orientalism, New York 1979 Somewhere in the remote past of mankind armour was born, its basic purpose being to protect the soft and vulnerable human body in combat. It is somewhat surprising that in the course of Darwinian evolution man lost his natural protective attributes, above all hair, and slowly became what is called, with some malice, ,,the naked ape". Very soon man the hunter adopted animal skins as his first dress and also as armour. The tradition of an armour of leather is very ancient and still lingers in the word ,,cuirass". Various natural substances such as hard wood, plant fibres, bones, hoofs, or even tusks were used to make the body protection more resistant, but as soon as metallurgy had been mastered metal became the supreme material for all kinds of weaponry, both offensive and defensive. Since a blow to the head was often lethal, special attention was paid to the pro­ tection of that principal part of the body: early bronze helmets of conical shape are represented in the Sume­ rian art as early as the third millennium B. C.l. The shield, a prehistoric invention, although detached from the body and movable, may also be considered as a kind of armour. In the course of centuries a great number of types of armour and innumerable actual specimens were crea­ ted.

  • AMERICAN EARLY JET-AGE AIRCREW FLIGHT HELMETS, a HISTORY in TWO PARTS: Part I: A
    1 AMERICAN EARLY JET-AGE AIRCREW FLIGHT HELMETS, A HISTORY IN TWO PARTS: Part I: A general guide for collectors, and Part II: A history of US Air Force ‘P-series’ helmets by Christopher T. Carey, MA PART I: A general guide for collectors of American jet-age flight helmets Figure 1: Movie poster (John Wayne's JET PILOT, 1959) Who, among aviation buffs and action fans alike the world over, could ever forget the exciting scenes of fighter jock icy-calm bravado as pilots repeatedly pushed the aircraft combat performance envelope to the limits in such classic movies as ‘TOP GUN’ and ‘THE RIGHT STUFF?’ It took a pretty beat libido and low testosterone titer to sit there and watch those stirring exploits in the wild blue yonder without feeling a distinct thrill shoot down the spine like a Sidewinder missile. Unfortunately, for every natural born, eagle-eyed Chuck Yeager there are several thousands of poor souls who, despite having spent a lifetime blazing new paths across the sky in their daydreams, were not favored by fate with the right combination of abilities, circumstance and opportunity, to achieve such a lofty ambition as actually piloting a state-of-the-art fighter aircraft beyond the speed of sound and into the heat of actual combat. Today, one of the most interesting means these legions of armchair fighter jocks have at their disposal to expiate unrequited yearnings of this sort is to collect aircrew protective flight gear (now known to military professionals as ALSE, or ‘Aircrew Life Support Equipment’). Perhaps you can‟t actually walk the walk and talk the talk of the righteous brotherhood of Sierra Hotel (slang for s**t-hot) military pilots, but you can certainly pursue the fascinating hobby of surrounding yourself with the tools of their trade and in so doing vicariously bask in some of the reflected glory of their calling.

  • Clad in Steel: the Evolution of Armor and Weapons in Medieval Europe
    Clad in Steel: The Evolution of Armor and Weapons in Medieval Europe Jason Gill Honors Thesis Professor Katherine Smith and Professor William Barry 1 The sun rose over Northern France on October 25, 1415 to reveal two armies, one fighting for England, one for France. As the English advanced in good order toward their enemies, the sun at their backs, the steel plate of their knights seemed to shine in the morning light, even as the shafts of their archers cast shadows on the ground. The unprepared French forces hurried to strap on their armor plates and lock their visors into place, hoping these would protect them from the lethal rain their enemies brought against them, and hurried across the sodden field to meet the glistening blades of their foes, even as arrows descended upon them like hail. The slaughter that followed, which has come to be known as the battle of Agincourt, remains one of the most iconic and infamous engagements of the Middle Ages, with archers and knights in shining armor slaughtering each other in the thousands. For many of these soldiers, armor and skill were their only defenses against the assaults of their enemies, so it was fortunate that by the time of Agincourt armor design had become truly impressive. But how did this armor evolve to this point? What pushed armorers to continually improve their designs? And what weapons were brought to bear against it? All are important questions, and all deserve to be treated in depth. The evolution of armor, of course, is a complicated topic.

The main focus, however, is on the personal ballistic protection (PBP) based on textile components and their role in the protective elements. Soft ballistic protections are crucial Soft ballistic protections are crucial elements of PBP, forexample in military and law enforcements. Although the subject of PBP was limited in this chapter to soft ballistic protection, other elements, e.g. hard ballistic protection, stab-resistant vests, dual threat, so-called in-con- junction protective elements, modern helmets, were also mentioned in this chapter to demonstrate positioning of the soft ballistic protection and other elements in the global personal protection approach. Apart from it, the chapter contains selected information concerning high-performance polymers and fibres as well as a brief notes about their application in protective panels being basic elements of any protective element.

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (December 2012) A woman wearing a bicycling helmet A helmet is a form of protective gear worn to protect the head from injuries. Ceremonial or symbolic helmets (e.g., UK policeman's helmet) without protective function are sometimes used. The oldest known use of helmets was by Assyrian soldiers in 900BC, who wore thick leather or bronze helmets to protect the head from blunt object and swordblows and arrow strikes in combat. Soldiers still wear helmets, now often made from lightweight plastic materials. In civilian life, helmets are used for recreational activities and sports (e.g., jockeys in horse racing, American football, ice hockey, cricket,baseball, and rock climbing); dangerous work activities (e.g., construction, mining, riot police); and transportation (e.g., Motorcycle helmetsand bicycle helmets). Since the 1990s, most helmets are made from resin or plastic, which may be reinforced with fibers such as aramids. The word helmet is diminutive from helm, Medieval word for combat protective headgear. The Medieval great helm covers the whole head and often is accompanied with camail protecting throat and neck as well. Originally a helmet was a helm which covered the head only partly.

  • The Evolution of Arms and Armors During the Crusades
    THE EVOLUTION OF ARMS AND ARMORS DURING THE CRUSADES 1095 – 1291 C.E. An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTEHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Adam Howard Jeremy Kibby Daniel Robertson Alex Scanlon October 15, 2013 Submitted to: Professor Diana A. Lados Mr. Tom H. Thomsen Abstract The Crusades were a major turning point in history which evoked a rapid evolution of arms and armors that persisted throughout the middle ages. The focus of this project is to outline the historical, technological, and geographical context that lead to such an evolution. The information we collect will be presented on a continually growing website developed by previous groups. A great helm will also be crafted, in a way that captures the style and spirit of the ancient craft of blacksmithing. ii Acknowledgements The group would like to thank Professor Diana A. Lados and Mr. Tom H. Thomsen for their advice and guidance in the research of the evolution of arms and armor during such a historically important period in history. We would also like to express our gratitude to Joshua Swalec for dedicating his time in helping us develop our project along with the use of his shop, without which we would have been unable to complete our project. His knowledge and expertise were essential in our effort to create a replica Great Helm of the late crusades using period appropriate smithing techniques. The group would also like to thank Professor Boquan Li and Yuwei Zhai, both of whom instructed us on how to properly mount, polish, and etch samples of metal, along with how to properly operate both the Vickers micro hardness and Rockwell hardness machines.

  • The Morion: an Introduction to Its Development, Form, & Function
    ASAC_Vol105_03-Tavares_120008.qxd 9/29/12 4:32 PM Page 2 The Morion: An Introduction to its Development, Form, & Function By Jonathan Tavares The helmet type known as a morion has become an iconic symbol of the Renaissance soldier. It is defined in its classic combed form by a distinct symmetry and balance between a crescent-shaped comb rising from a rounded bowl and a swept brim drawn up to points at the front and back (Figure 1). For many it evokes the swashbuckling Spanish conquistador, an image reinforced by Hollywood films such as The Captain from Castile (1947), and echoed in objects like the stream-lined hood ornament on the 1951 De Soto (Figure 2). Although the morion has become an essential prop in period dramas, neither its design—an ingenious interplay between form and function—nor its cul- tural resonance are fully understood or appreciated. As a light and serviceable head piece, the morion was so successful that it can be considered the first international helmet form, adopted by sixteenth-century men-at-arms, merchants, and colonists from Sweden to Italy and from Portugal to Eastern Austria. Excavated remains of late six- teenth-early seventeenth century morions have been found Figure 1. Comb-morion, Milanese or Brescian, ca. 1560-1570, within our own country at the English settlements around The Metropolitan Museum of Art (37.186.6). Figure 2.

  • Helmets and Primary Blast
    Blast wave protection in combat helmet design - a historical comparison J. Op ‘t Eynde1, A. W. Yu1, C. P. Eckersley1, and C. R. Bass1 1Injury Biomechanics Laboratory, Duke University ABSTRACT Since World War I, helmets have been used to protect the head in warfare. They have been designed primarily for protection against artillery shrapnel. More recently, helmet requirements have included ballistic and blunt trauma protection, but neurotrauma from primary blast has not been a key concern in helmet design. This study compares the blast protective effect of historical (WWI) and current combat helmets, against each other and the ‘no helmet’ case, for realistic shock wave impingement on the helmet crown. Helmets included WWI helmets from the UK/US(Brodie), France (Adrian), Germany (Stahlhelm), and a current US combat helmet (ACH). Helmets were mounted on a Hybrid III® (Humanetics) dummy head and neck and faced towards the ground with a cylindrical blast tube (30.5 cm diameter) aligned along the crown of the head to simulate an overhead blast. Primary blast waves of different magnitudes were generated. Peak reflected overpressure at the open end of the blast tube was compared to peak reflected overpressure at the crown of the head. A general linear model was used to assess the effect of helmet type and tube pressure on the resultant crown pressure response. The interaction between helmet type and tube pressure was found to have a significant effect on the outcome. ‘No helmet’ and the Adrian helmet were each found to be statistically significantly different from all other helmets. The peak crown pressure was lowest in the Adrian helmet and highest in the ‘no helmet’ case.
