Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 機械與機電工程學系研究所 === 98 === The center of gravity (CG) in the golf club head is crucial to the launch angle, launch velocity and spin of golf balls after the golf impact. The CG locations in this study refer to the depth of CG, height of CG and distance of CG, which were determined by the change of shell thickness of a golf club head. By means of the finite element method (FEM), the researcher analyzed the impact process for golf balls and golf head clubs. Then he discussed the relationship between club heads and ball behaviors after impact. He also simulated the trajectory by the numerical method on the basis of the impact results of the golf ball. To sum up, a longer carry was generalized by deeper CG, lower CG and higher loft angle for a golfer with a slow club head speed. A shallower CG, higher CG and lower loft on a club head for a golfer with a fast club head speed were also verified in this study. Finally, a series of impacts produced by FEM and numerical method were generalized. Specifically, the method can be used to predict the flying distance of golf ball. It also can help predict the proper CG locations for golf club head designing.
