2. 1. Interfacial kinetic ski friction

   Author : Leonid Kuzmin; Mats Tinnsten; Jonas Danvid; Mikael Jonsson; Roland Larsson; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ski glide; ski base; ski wax; hydrophobicity; UHMWPE; PTFE; topography; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : It is no doubt, that the ski glide over the snow is a very complicated object of research. However, ski glide is just a one area of many other areas of human knowledge. As a rule, the scientists and practitioners, who work in these areas, operate with some publicly expressed more or less solid hypotheses. READ MORE

4. 2. Investigation of the most essential factors influencing ski glide

   Author : Leonid Kuzmin; Mikael Jonsson; Mats Tinnsten; Lars-Erik Persson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wax; Computer Aided Design;

   Abstract : There are many different parameters of a ski running surface (material, roughness, hydrophobicity, etc.). All the parameters have an influence on ski glide, some more and some less. Furthermore, some parameters with only minor relevance are commonly declared as critical, while truly critical parameters, as far as we know, never been investigated. READ MORE

5. 3. Experimental test setups and simulations in skiing mechanics

   Author : Mikael Swarén; Anders Eriksson; Thomas Stöggl; KTH; []
   Keywords : sports equipment; test methods; sports mechanics; alpine skiing; cross-country skiing; poles; helmets; glide; performance;

   Abstract : Product testing and development are essential parts in sports and for the athletes in their quest to reach the podium. Manufacturers of sports equipment often use basic test methods which do not test the equipment in a sports specific way. READ MORE

6. 4. Objective Analysis Methods in the Mechanics of Sports

   Author : Mikael Swarén; Anders Eriksson; Vesa Linnamo; KTH; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sports equipment; test methods; sports mechanics; biomechanics; performance analysis; tracking; positioning system; pacing; alpine skiing; cross-country skiing; poles; helmets;

   Abstract : Sports engineering can be considered as the bridge between the knowledge of sports science and the principles of engineering and has an important role not only in improving the athletic performance, but also in increasing the safety of the athletes. Testing and optimization of sports equipment and athletic performance are essential for supporting athletes in their quest to reach the podium. READ MORE
