Impact, String Tension and Vibration Analysis of Nanocomposite Based Tennis Racket Frame

Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Engineering and Technology - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2

Abstract

The performance of every tennis player is based on the type of tennis racket frame and playing conditions. The evolution of the tennis racket has seen many changes with respect to design and materials. Every tennis player chooses their own tennis racket requirements like lightweight, stiffer racket for better performance etc. The paper discusses dynamic modal analysis of the tennis racket frame made of polymer nanocomposite material. Existing tennis racket with Ti 4700 Head was chosen for creating the 3D model of the tennis racket frame with string using PRO/ENGINEER software. Also a 3D model of the Tennis ball was created. The 3D racket model was exported to LS-DYNA incorporated with polymer nanocomposite properties. Dynamic modal analysis, impact and string tension analyses and simulation of the interaction between the tennis ball and the tennis racket frame were done using LS-DYNA software. A different ‘spot’ of the tennis racket was considered for dynamic analysis. Keywords: Tennis racket frame, PRO/ENGINEER, LS-DYNA, dynamic, impact and string tension analyses.
