Finite Element Analysis of a Golf Ball and Driver Head Impact: Understanding the Feasibility of an Acoustical Optimization

An acoustic profile from the impact between a golf ball and driver head was produced using FEA. Following this, the results were analyzed to determine the feasibility of an acoustical optimization of such an impact. A validation of the FEA program LS-DYNA® was undertaken to ensure a proper solution...
