Summary of Test Method4.1 A test shoe outsole or specimen is tested for tractioncharacteristics on 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, crea
19、ting a tight fit capable of properly transmittingforces through the shoe material to the outsole-playing surfaceinterface. Alternatively, an outsole material specimen 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 loade
20、d against the testsurface under a normal load specific to the sport category forwhich the shoe is intended. These normal loads, dependingupon the sport, will typically be higher than an athletes bodyweight. Normal loads, and the shoe axes along which tractionneeds are greatest, have been determined
21、by research. Some ofthe loading conditions that have relevance for traction testingof outsoles designed for particular sports are itemized by sportcategory in Table 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
22、 applied by means ofweights or hydraulic cylinders, springs in compression or otherappropriate means and transmitted through a shaft to which thefootform is securely attached.4.4 The normal load is distributed entirely beneath the distalhalf or the forefoot region of the outsole unless otherwisespec
23、ified. The proximal half or the rearfoot should not contactthe playing surface except as noted in Table 1. Alternatively, ifdeemed appropriate for the sports movement for which theshoe outsole design is intended, normal loads are distributeduniformly beneath the proximal half or the rearfoot portion
24、 ofthe outsole. If the shoe construction typically includes amidsole that provides cushioning, an appropriate midsoleshould be included in the test shoe. If the test involves aspecimen of outsole material fastened to a mounting plate, anequivalent midsole material of appropriate thickness is to bein

27、 of a Generic Device for Measuring Linear TractionF2333042NOTE 1The cushioning material helps to distribute normal loads moreuniformly between the outsole and the playing surface. The cushion doesnot reproduce the distribution of loads transmitted through the shoebottom to the outsole by the loaded
28、human foot, but does increase testrepeatability.4.5 For linear traction measurements, a linear actuator isused to overcome the static traction and produce relativerectilinear motion of the shoe and surface, parallel to the shoeoutsole-playing surface interface. The actuator may be pneu-matically, hy
29、draulically, or electrically driven. The distance ofrelative sliding motion between the shoe and the surface shallbe a minimum of 20 cm, unless the interacting surfaces deformor fail at a smaller distance.4.6 Sliding velocity shall be recorded and reported.

Under these circumstances, the forceand velocity developed should be recorded and dynamic traction coeffi-cie
31、nts should not be reported.4.7 For rotational traction measurements, the loaded shoeoutsole is rotated about the vertical shaft transmitting thenormal loads. The rotary motion may be applied manually, orby means of a rotary actuator. The minimum rotation appliedshall be 90 unless the interacting sur

RATIONALEX1.1 The traction characteristics of athletic shoe-sportssurface interfaces do not obey the classical laws of Coulombfriction (1,2).3It is generally the case that
39、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 andinterpenetration of the shoe outsole and the surface. Also, thematerials used to manufacture shoe outsoles
40、 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 independent of normal force,sliding velocity, and contact area, traction between the shoeand the surface
41、 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 frictional resistance to rotation canrange from 20 to 60 Nm, increasing in an approximately linear
42、manner with increasing normal force.X1.3 The non-linearity of shoe-surface traction requiresthat measurements be made at loads and loading rates in therange that can be expected in vivo. Tests conducted at normalloads exceeding athlete body weights and for dynamic frictionmeasures at realistic slidi
43、ng 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 traction atthe athletic shoe-sport surface interface. Since many athleticactivities are played on surf
44、aces 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 characteris-tics. A test method should also provide a procedure forevaluating traction in field condi
45、tions, 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 appropriate loadsand loading rates that does not rely on classical laws of friction.X2. RELEVANCEX2.1 Enha
46、ncement 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 outsolesenhance athletes abilities to run fast, make quick starts andstops, and make rapid changes in runnin
47、g 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 theartificial turf provided a greater gripping effect between shoeoutsole and turf. Morehouse and Morri
48、son 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 implications arethat the greater traction provided by artificial turf surfacesresults in performance enhanc
49、ement. 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. Penetration of spikes into the track surfacecontributes to the high traction forces that prevent slip duringthis critical phase of the race.X2.1.3 Within the final 60
