Terminology2.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:2.1.1 energy restitution (ER), na measure of the energyreturned by the synthetic turf

6、 surface after the impact force hasbeen applied.2.1.2 energy restitution coeffcient, nthe ratio of the dy-namic load energy applied to the surface to the energy returnedby the surface.2.1.3 force reduction (FR), nthe ability of a synthetic turfsports surface to reduce the impact force of a mass fall

7、ing ontothat surface.2.1.3.1 DiscussionThe reduction in impact force for thistest method is expressed as a percentage reduction whencompared to a reference force of 6760 N. The reference forceis the theoretical maximum impact force that occurs when thetest is performed on a rigid surface (concrete).

8、2.1.4 synthetic turf system, nall components of the syn-thetic turf surface and subsurface that have the potential toinfluence the dynamic properties of the surface.2.1.4.1 DiscussionThese include any shock pads or dy-namic base constructions installed as part of the synthetic turfsystem.2.1.5 verti

Summary of Test Method3.1 A mass with a spring attached is allowed to fall onto thetest surface. The acceleration of the mass is recorded from themoment of release until after its impact with the

11、 turf surface.Force Reduction is the percentage reduction in the measuredmaximum force (Fmax) relative to the reference force (Fmax).3.2 Deformation is calculated by double integration of therecord of acceleration versus time. Energy restitution is calcu-lated from the force versus deformation curve

12、.4. Significance and Use4.1 The dynamic interaction between the athlete and thesynthetic turf surface affects the comfort and the performanceof the athlete. Interaction with a surface that has low amountsof deformation and shock absorption allows the player to runfast and turn quickly, but has the p
