Study on Dynamic Characteristics of Alpine Ski

Abstract

In the study of skiing, it has been studied from various viewpoints, and experimental modal analysis is one of the methods most commonly used in the measurement of dynamic characteristics. However, in the previous research, the dynamics during competition are hardly considered. Therefore, in this approach, eigenvalue analysis was carried out in consideration of contact ratio with the snow surface and the centrifugal force at the turns of alpine skiing using a theoretical mode analysis by the finite element method(FEM).

In this paper, the experimental and analysis results are reported.
