Computer aided prediction of the vibration and rebound velocity characteristics of tennis rackets with various physical properties

ABSTRACT

The performance of the tennis racket in terms of the coefficient of restitution is closely related to impact phenomena. Nevertheless, there are a number of unclarified points regarding the impact phenomenon and the optimum design of tennis rackets ( Groppel, 1987).
