Significance and Use3.1 This test method provides a means for determining thetorsional stiffness of Alpine skis. It is not
8、intended to evaluatethe data with regard to the quality of the ski.4. Apparatus4.1 Clamping Fixture, to grip the ski as a vise with a flat,rigid jaw and three clamps with at least 150 +50, 0 mmspacing between them. One clamp is located at each end of thefixture and one in the center as illustrated i
9、n Fig. 1. The clampsshould be at least 30 mm wide and cover the full width of theski.4.2 Torsion Head, shown in Fig. 2, with low-friction mo-ment (#0.2 Nm) and quasistatic loading system having aclamping fixture described in 4.1. Common devices for thisloading system are a weight on a cable wrapped
10、around thehead, or a weight on a lever arm rigidly attached to the head.The torsion head clamping fixture should have a width of 10 61 mm and a length equal to or greater than the width of the ski.The base surface of the torsion head fixture to the ski baseshould be in the same plane as the clamping
11、 fixture (that is,camber forced out of ski in clamped position).4.3 Scale, to measure the torsion angle with an accuracy of0.5.5. Procedure5.1 Test skis at room temperature (23 6 5C) withoutspecific preconditioning. Torsion head and clamping fixture areadjusted such that the distance between them is
12、 C/2 6 2mmshown in Fig. 1. Mount the ski to the clamping fixture so thatthe ski forebody or ski afterbody can rotate freely about PointM. The torsion head is attached to the ski at Point A or F 6 2mm such that the longitudinal axis of the ski is in the center ofthe torsion head. Apply a moment, Mt,o
