In this study, numrical simulation of string-bed of tennis rackets were conducted to evaluate the effect of string pattern on the mechanical characteristics of tennis rackets. Kinematical data including main and cross strings of seven tennis rackets were measured and FEM models of the string beds were prepared for the numerical simulation . The out-of-plane stiffness and in-plane stiffness of the string beds of the seven rackets were compared to investigate the relationships between the mechanical properties and the string pattern.
