A Shuttlecock is made from the 16 goose or duck feathers and a cork ball head, Feather leaves and stems are most vulnerable to damage. Any damage in these areas cause the ball to lose the original flight properties. Recent years, playing populations badminton continue to grow around the world. However, the supply of raw material feathers can’t keep up, leading to the price rise of badminton. The idea of artificial feathers in replacing real feathers has commercial values and draws attentions of global research. The objectives of this study are two-fold. 1. Emulation of a feather appearance patterns design: Using Nikon cameras to capture real feathers, and applying image processing technology via a Fourier transformation, binary arithmetic, and pattern analysis program to improve image of the feathers. 2. Feather mechanical properties experiment retrieval: Using dynamic experimental and static experimental design to analyze feathers in curve, tune positive arch, negative arch with respective to different loads, and these establish conditions for emulation feathers simulation attribute. The outputs of this study including three sets of feathers Terrier initial models and static and dynamic mechanical properties of the best linear regression equations retrieved from real feathers. Confidence intervals of these regression equations are built, that can be used developing artificial feathers.
