Summary of Test Method4.1 A test shoe outsole or specimen is tested for tractioncharacteristics on
19、 the type of playing surface for which theshoe is intended.4.2 A shoe containing the outsole to be tested is pulled overa foot form, creating a tight fit capable of properly transmittingforces through the shoe material to the outsole-playing surfaceinterface. Alternatively, an outsole material speci
20、men can befastened to a mounting plate and tested in the same manner asan outsole on an intact shoe.4.3 The shoe on the footform is loaded against the testsurface under a normal load specific to the sport category forwhich the shoe is intended. These normal loads, dependingupon the sport, will typic
21、ally be higher than an athletes bodyweight. Normal loads, and the shoe axes along which tractionneeds are greatest, have been determined by research. Some ofthe loading conditions that have relevance for traction testingof outsoles designed for particular sports are itemized by sportcategory in Tabl
22、e 1. Tests should be conducted at these normalloads or at a normal load of 1000 6 75 N unless otherwisespecified. The normal loads can be applied by means ofweights or hydraulic cylinders, springs in compression or otherappropriate means and transmitted through a shaft to which thefootform is secure
23、ly attached.4.4 The normal load is distributed entirely beneath the distalhalf or the forefoot region of the outsole unless otherwisespecified. The proximal half or the rearfoot should not contactthe playing surface except as noted in Table 1. Alternatively, ifdeemed appropriate for the sports movem

26、TractionF2333 04 (2011)2shoe outsole design is intended, normal loads are distributeduniformly beneath the proximal half or the rearfoot portion ofthe outsole. If the shoe construction typically includes amidsole that provides cushioning, an appropriate midsoleshould be included in the test shoe. If
27、 the test involves aspecimen of outsole material fastened to a mounting plate, anequivalent midsole material of appropriate thickness is to beincluded between the mounting plate and the outsole material.NOTE 1The cushioning material helps to distribute normal loads moreuniformly between the outsole
28、and the playing surface. The cushion doesnot reproduce the distribution of loads transmitted through the shoebottom to the outsole by the loaded human foot, but does increase testrepeatability.4.5 For linear traction measurements, a linear actuator isused to overcome the static traction and produce
29、relativerectilinear motion of the shoe and surface, parallel to the shoeoutsole-playing surface interface. The actuator may bepneumatically, hydraulically, or electrically driven. The dis-tance of relative sliding motion between the shoe and thesurface shall be a minimum of 20 cm, unless the interac

Under these circumstances,the force and velocity developed should be recorded and dynamic tractioncoefficients should not be reported.4.7 For rotational traction measurements, the loaded shoeoutsole is rotated about the vertical shaft transmitting thenormal loads.

RATIONALEX1.1 The traction characteristics of athletic shoe-sportssurface in
39、terfaces do not obey the classical laws of Coulombfriction (1,2).3It is generally the case that the shoe-surfaceinterface is neither smooth nor planar and that the forcesresisting relative motion between them include not onlyfriction, but also other forces due to mechanical interaction andinterpenet
40、ration of the shoe outsole and the surface. Also, thematerials used to manufacture shoe outsoles and surfaces arenon-linearly elastic and non-rigid, violating the assumptions ofclassical friction.X1.2 In contrast to classical theory, in which coefficients offriction between two surfaces are independ
41、ent of normal force,sliding velocity, and contact area, traction between the shoeand the surface is not constant and may vary non-linearly withnormal force, sliding velocity and contact area. Unlike classicalfriction coefficients, dynamic traction ratios frequently exceed1.0. The moments opposing fr
42、ictional resistance to rotation canrange from 20 to 60 Nm, increasing in an approximately linearmanner with increasing normal force.X1.3 The non-linearity of shoe-surface traction requires thatmeasurements be made at loads and loading rates in the rangethat can be expected in vivo. Tests conducted a
43、t normal loadsexceeding athlete body weights and for dynamic frictionmeasures at realistic sliding velocities (3,4) are acceptablewhile those conducted at low normal loads (5,6) are lessappropriate. Test methods that rely on the assumptions ofCoulomb friction are not appropriate for measuring tracti
44、on atthe athletic shoe-sport surface interface. Since many athleticactivities are played on surfaces that can deform and move,such as natural turf and running trails, test methods shouldaccount for movement of soil or turf during testing and thesubsequent effects on the measurement of traction chara
45、cteris-tics. A test method should also provide a procedure forevaluating traction in field conditions, including cleated foot-wear applications, and also in realistic laboratory conditions.X1.4 This test method attempts to address these issues bydescribing a means of measuring traction at appropriat
46、e loadsand loading rates that does not rely on classical laws of friction.X2. RELEVANCEX2.1 Enhancement of Performance:X2.1.1 The traction between a sport shoe and a playingsurface is an important determinant of human athletic perfor-mance. High traction characteristics of athletic shoe outsolesenha
47、nce athletes abilities to run fast, make quick starts andstops, and make rapid changes in running direction. Forexample, Krahenbuhl (7) reported that athletes wearing cleatedshoes could not run through an agility course as fast on naturalturf as on an artificial turf surface. He assumed that thearti
48、ficial turf provided a greater gripping effect between shoeoutsole and turf. Morehouse and Morrison also measured fasterperformance times on artificial compared to natural turf forfootball players completing an agility run, a 10-yard sprint, a40-yard sprint, and a blocking drill (8). The implication
49、s arethat the greater traction provided by artificial turf surfacesresults in performance enhancement. Similarly, increased out-sole traction would have equivalent performance enhancementbenefits.X2.1.2 Many athletic movements result in the developmentof high horizontal forces between the shoe and the playingsurface. During the first few accelerating foot steps out ofstarting blocks, 100 m sprinters are developing backwarddirected horizontal force components exceeding 120 % of theirbody weight.
