氷上を滑走中のカーリングストーンの底面にはたらく3軸力の計測

抄録

By using MEMS 3-axis force sensors, we demonstrated that we can measure the three axial force distribution when a curling stone rotates and translates on the ice. We cut a curling stone horizontally in order to separate the stone into two parts. Then we fixed the MEMS 3-axis force sensors between the upper and lower parts. We conducted the measurement experiments at the curling rink, and confirmed that our proposed measurement method is effective to evaluate the force acting on the bottom surface of the curling stone.
