Terminology3.1 The following terminology is introduced with refer
6、enceto the sketch of the boot-ski system shown in Fig. 1.3.1.1 Six points of load application to the standard test skiare required. With the adult boot sole (300 mm in length) themost forward point, located at a position 90 6 0.5 cm from thecenterline of the test shaft, shall be called the “forward
7、point”and shall be designated as F. The second point, 45 6 0.5 cm infront of the centerline of the test shaft, shall be designated the“near point,” N. The third point, located 45 6 0.5 cm behindthe centerline of the test shaft, shall be designated “rear point,”R. The fourth point, located 35 6 0.5 c
8、m in front of the centerline of the test shaft, shall be designated the “near preloadpoint,” NP. The fifth point, located 75 6 0.5 cm behind thecenterline of the test shaft shall be designated the “far rearpoint,” FRP.The sixth point, the “alternate near preload point,”ANP, is located 7.5 6 0.25 cm,
9、 in the minus y-direction fromthe point NP. For sole lengths longer than 300 mm the F andFR points are not changed from the location used for the 300mm boot sole. For sole lengths shorter than 300 mm the N, R,ANP and NP points are not changed from the location used forthe 300 mm sole. For bindings w
10、hich are to be used exclusivelywith skis shorter than the test ski, F and FR tests shall beperformed at the N and R points. If the ski is too short for thespecified N and R points, N and R shall be moved closer to thez-axis by 10 cm each, and all tests performed using the new Nand R points. The forc
11、es that are applied to the standard ski atthese six designated points may now be described by simplevector notation. A laboratory-fixed axis designation shall beused with the numeral z denoting the vertical axis normal to thetop face of the ski (in the region of the test shaft) and positivein the di
12、rection outward from the ski; the numeral x denotingthe longitudinal axis, positive in the forward direction of theski; and the numeral y denoting the lateral axis, the positivedirection of which is determined by the right-hand rule. Thez-axis is coincident with the centerline of the test shaft. The
13、origin of the XYZ coordinate system is a point 230 mm alongthe axis of the test shaft from the bearing surface of the test solefor 300 mm test soles. The location is changed proportionallyfor soles other than 300 mm. The direction of any force applied1This test method is under the jurisdiction of AS

The magnitu
18、de of apreload force applied to the ski is defined by the Mzor Mymoment created by the force.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The ski binding is mounted on a standard ski and astandard boot sole is inserted into the binding.Arelatively stifftest shaft instrumented for moments is affixed to the sole anda
19、ttached rigidly to the test frame. The apparatus is shown inFig. 2.4.2 Loads sufficient to produce binding release are appliedto the binding by forcing the ski to displace relative to theframe until release occurs. The components of the momentstransmitted through the binding to the test shaft are re
20、corded.These records are interpreted to provide the static releasemoments of the binding.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method involves simulation in the laboratory ofpotential injury-producing loads that can occur in skiing,without implying the frequency or the magnitude of the danger.This te
21、st method does not include the simulation of all or partof a skier, and care must be taken not to confuse the values ofmoments measured by the test shaft with the loads subjected tothe tibia of a skier under the same conditions.6.
