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 cm in front of the
8、 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, in the minus y-d
9、irection 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 which are to be us

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 forces that are appli

Thez-axis is coincident with the centerline of the test shaft. Theorigin of th
16、e 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 appliedto the ski is defined by its unit vector. The magnitude of ap
17、reload 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 andattached
18、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 recorded.T
19、hese 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 test metho
20、d 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.
