Development and Characterisation of Lightweight Sandwich Panel for Table Tennis Table

Abstract:

Lightweight sandwich panels (LWSP) have been used in various sectors of construction and transportation industries. However, due to the cost and complexity of the manufacturing process, their usage in high level sport equipment has been somewhat neglected. This study investigates the feasibility of using a wood veneer sandwich panel to construct the playing surface of a table tennis table. The effects of material parameters, such as the face sheet thickness, core configuration, core thickness and surface coating, on the dynamic friction coefficient and coefficient of restitution, which ultimately dictate the speed, bounce and spin of the ball, will be examined. All results from characterisation of the LWSP table using the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) standards will be compared with those from commercially available tables. The material parameters identified to yield the most consistent and favourable characteristics for a table tennis game will be applied for construction of a full size demonstration table.
