Impact simulations were performed to observe the vibration characteristics of a tennis racket and its strings, plus the effects on the hand. The 3-dimensional modeling of the tennis racket was achieved using CATIA V5, and included the modeling of the frame, strings, and rubber grip. The simulations were performed using ABAQUS explicit. As a result, the deformation characteristics of the tennis racket and its effect of on the hand were clarified in relation to the frame boundary conditions, different string tension, and different impact locations for the ball on the racket.
