Finite Element Analysis on Badminton Racket Design Parameters

Author: Fakhrizal Azmy Nasruddin
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319217356
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 54

Book Description
This work identifies the characteristics of racket design parameters that influence racket performance. It presents the finite element analysis of several designs of badminton rackets and compares them to experimental results for validation. Designing a racket requires a comprehensive understanding of racket performance characteristics. Essentially, racket performance is related to the sweet spot, which is the spot on the racket head that produces the most power and control when it strikes a shuttlecock. Determining a coefficient of restitution can help to identify the sweet spot on a racket. By analyzing several head shape designs, it becomes apparent that isometric head shape rackets produce better coefficients of restitution compared to oval and round ones. It is recommended that the racket design consist of low string tension, stiffer racket shafts and bigger head size in order to produce higher shuttlecock speed.

I was disappointed when I finished the book. Yes, it was that good! –Marie Jackson Masters in Education I read the entire book in two days. It was one of those books you don’t want to put down. –Diane Jacobs Masters in Education This is the true life story of a young man stricken with extreme mental illness. At the age of twenty and in the blink of an eye he was possessed. The year was 1980 and mental illness was not viewed with the compassion, nor the respect that it is today. In fact it was taboo, mortifying and never a thing you’d share even with the best of friends. An all American runner and eventual MMA athlete, two time college graduate and yet paralyzed with fear day in and day out. This is the inside story that pulls no punches of the brutality and the consequences of living with this wicked affliction.
