Preliminary Exploration of the Dynamic Model and Experiment on an Impact between a Tennis Ball and Racket

Article Preview

Abstract:

The research on an impact between a tennis ball and racket is very significant to improve the level of tennis and reduce the sports injuries. A preliminary study on an impact between a tennis ball and racket is carried out in this paper. It is composed of four parts: the reference of the existed dynamic model, the experimental set-up, the test system, the collection and analysis of experimental data. The preliminary experimental results are compared with the dynamic model, and the impact dynamic model can be improved after considering every effect on the impact. The preliminary results show that the model can be used to predict the tennis impact on the racket with different inbound velocity.
