1、BSI Standards Publication Surface for sports areas Method of test for the determination of shock absorption, vertical deformation and energy restitution using the advanced artificial athlete PD CEN/TS 16717:2015National foreword This Published Document is the UK implementation of CEN/TS 16717:2015.
2、The document has been produced as a Technical Specification as it describes a new method of measuring the dynamic properties of sports surfaces. Whilst the procedure has been used for several years on long pile synthetic turf sports surfaces, there is little experience of using it on low shock absor
3、bing and deforming surfaces. Additionally, the current calculation of energy restitution and its relevance is currently being further researched. The UK technical committee advises that users of this Technical Specification should be aware of the following: The test results recorded on systems below
4、 25% shock absorption should be used as indicative and not definitive. The test results recorded on systems below 4 mm deformation should be used as indicative and not definitive. Energy restitution calculation may differ in the future when current research is completed. The UK participation in its
5、preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee PRI/57, Surfaces for sports areas. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.

36、in second 4 Principles A mass with a spring attached to it is allowed to fall onto the test piece and from the recorded acceleration of the mass from the moment of release until after its impact with the test piece. The following described parameters are calculated. Shock absorption (SA) is the perc
37、entage reduction in the measured maximum force (F max ) relative to the reference force (F ref ). Deformation is calculated by double integration of the record of Acceleration vs. time. Energy restitution coefficient is calculated from the Force vs. Deformation curve. 5 Test specimens 5.1 General Th
