EN 14808:2005 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of shock absorption characteristics of sports surfaces. NOTE The
18、method specified is commonly known as the Artificial Athlete (Berlin) method. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of
19、 the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 12229, Surfaces for sports areas Procedure for the preparation of synthetic turf and textile test pieces ISO 6487, Road vehicles Measurement techniques in impact tests Instrumentation 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this Eur
20、opean Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 area-elastic sports surface sports surface, to which the application of a point force causes deflection over a relatively large area around the point of application of the force 3.2 point-elastic sports surface sports surface, to which t
21、he application of a point force causes deflection only at or close to the point of application of the force 3.3 combination-elastic sports surface area-elastic sports surface with a point-elastic top layer, to which the application of a point force causes both localized deflection and deflection ove
22、r a wider area 3.4 mixed-elastic sports surface point-elastic sports surface with an area-stiffening component NOTE A mixed-elastic sports surface has deflection characteristics between those of an area-elastic surface and a point-elastic surface. 3.5 shock absorption ability of a sports surface to
23、reduce the impact force of a body falling onto the surface NOTE Shock absorption is a physical quantity consisting of damping and resilience due to a certain impact. 4 Principle A weight is allowed to fall onto a spring placed on the test piece and the maximum force applied is recorded. The differen
24、ce between this force and the maximum force measured on a hard surface is reported as the force reduction. EN 14808:2005 (E) 5 5 Test piece For area-elastic and combined-elastic sports surfaces, the test piece shall be a sample of the complete surfacing system measuring 3,5 m by 3,5 m, assembled and
25、 installed in accordance with the manufacturers stated method, on a substrate complying with the manufacturers requirements. For point-elastic and mixed-elastic sports surfaces, the test piece shall be a piece of the surface of minimum size 1,0 m by 1,0 m, in combination with the supporting layers t
26、o be used in service and using the recommended method of attachment in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Laboratory test pieces of either synthetic turf or textile materials shall be prepared in accordance with EN 12229. 6 Conditioning and test temperature For tests in the laboratory,
27、condition the test piece for a minimum of 40 h at a temperature of (23 2) C. Tests on site shall be carried out at the prevailing ambient temperature and humidity, which shall be recorded and reported. 7 Apparatus 7.1.1 The principle of the apparatus is shown in Figure 1 and consists of the componen
28、ts specified in 7.1.2 to 7.1.10. 7.1.2 Falling weight having a mass of (20 0,1) kg with a hardened striking surface guided so that it is allowed to fall smoothly and vertically with minimum friction. 7.1.3 Spiral spring, having a diameter of (69 1) mm, whose characteristic, when mounted in the assem
29、bly described below, is linear with a spring rate of (2 000 60) N/mm over the range 0,1 kN to 7,5 kN with a hardened upper plate. The spring should have three or more coaxial coils which shall be rigidly fixed together at their ends. This may be achieved, for instance, by milling the spring from a s
30、ingle piece of steel. 7.1.4 Adjustable supporting feet, at least 250 mm from the point of application of the load for a point elastic sports surface and at least 600 mm from the point of application of the load for an area elastic sports surface. 7.1.5 Steel base plate, having a lower side rounded t

32、20 mm, measured at the centre of the plate) together, guided in the guiding tube. The total mass of the testing foot (without guiding tube) shall be (3,0 0,3) kg. 7.1.8 Means of supporting the weight, allowing it to be set to the drop height with an uncertainty no greater than 0,25 mm. 7.1.9 Means o

The response of the system at any given frequency shall be within 0,5 dB of the expected response, calculated on the basis of the Butterworth function.
35、 EN 14808:2005 (E) 6 The system should be able to record the peak value of single force-pulse signals of 10 ms duration with an uncertainty of no greater than 2 %.
