1、Designation: F1976 13 An American National StandardStandard Test Method forImpact Attenuation of Athletic Shoe Cushioning Systemsand Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1976; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the

2、 case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method describes the use of a gravity-drivenimpact test to measure certain im

3、pact attenuation characteris-tics of cushioning systems and cushioning materials employedin the soles of athletic shoes.1.2 This test method uses an 8.5 kg mass dropped from aheight of 30-70 mm to generate force-time profiles that arecomparable to those observed during heel and forefoot impactsdurin

4、g walking, running and jump landings.1.3 This test method is intended for use on the heel and orforefoot regions of whole, intact athletic shoe cushioningsystems.An athletic shoe cushioning system is defined as all ofthe layers of material between the wearers foot and the groundsurface that are norm

5、ally considered a part of the shoe. Thismay include any of the following components: outsole or otherabrasion resistant outer layer, a midsole of compliant cushion-ing materials or structures forming an intermediate layer, aninsole, insole board, or other material layers overlying themidsole, parts

6、of the upper and heel counter reinforcementwhich extend beneath the foot, and an insock, sockliner orother cushioning layers, either fixed or removable, inside theshoe.1.4 This test method may also be employed in to measurethe impact attenuation of cushioning system components andcushioning material

7、 specimens.1.5 This test method is not intended for use as a test of shoesclassified by the manufacturer as childrens shoes.1.6 The type, size or dimensions and thickness of thespecimen, the total energy input and prior conditioning shallqualify test results obtained by this test method.1.6.1 The ra

8、nge of tests results is limited by the calibratedrange of the test devices force transducer. Combinations ofthin specimens, high specimen stiffness and high total energyinput may produce forces that exceed the transducers capacityand are hence not measurable. In practice, the specified forcetransduc

9、er range (10 kN) accommodates more than 99 % oftypical shoe soles and cushioning material specimens that are7 mm or more in thickness at a total energy input of 5 Joules.1.6.2 The nominal value of the total energy input applied bythis test method is 5 J for shoes, such as running shoes, whichare sub

10、ject to moderate impacts during normal use. Totalenergy inputs of 7.0 J and 3.0 J may be used for shoes (e.gbasketball shoes) which are subject to higher impact loadsduring normal use. Other values of total energy input may beused, if they are stated in the report.1.6.3 Results from tests performed

11、with different totalenergy inputs or with different masses are not directly compa-rable.1.6.4 Specimen thickness has a significant effect on impactattenuation outcomes. Consequently, results from tests ofmaterial specimens of different thicknesses cannot be directlycompared.1.6.5 The impact attenuat

12、ion of cushioning materials maychange over time and with use (e.g. wear or durability testing)or prior conditioning (e.g. from previous tests). Consequently,test results obtained using this test method shall be qualified bythe age and prior conditioning of the samples.1.7 The values stated in SI uni

13、ts are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health prac

Summary of Test Method4.1 The test apparatus consi

21、sts of a rigid foundation with asupport structure that guides the fall of an 8.5 kg, gravitydriven missile. The apparatus includes a mechanism for posi-tioning the missile at a predetermined drop height, thencyclically releasing it at a nominal rate of 30 cycles per minute.4.2 A test specimen is sup

22、ported by the rigid foundation.The drop height is adjusted to produce a specified total energyinput, typically 5 Joules. Specimens are subjected to a series of30 impacts with a nominal interval of 2.0 s. The first 25 dropsused to condition the specimen and the last five drops used formeasurements. F

23、orce and displacement time histories aremeasured with appropriate transducers and recorded. Theprimary outcomes of the test are the peak acceleration duringthe impact (g-max), time to peak acceleration (t-max), peakcompressive displacement (x-max) of the specimen and energyreturn/loss due to hystere

24、sis.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used by athletic footwear manufac-turers and others, both as a tool for development of athleticshoe cushioning systems and as a test of the general cushioningcharacteristics of athletic footwear products, materials andcomponents. Adherence to the re

25、quirements and recommenda-tions of this test method will provide repeatable results that canbe compared among laboratories.5.2 Data obtained by these procedures are indicative of theimpact attenuation of athletic shoe cushioning systems underthe specific conditions employed.5.3 This test method is d

26、esigned to provide data on the forceversus displacement response of athletic footwear cushioningsystems under essentially uniaxial impact loads at rates that aresimilar to those of heel and forefoot impacts during differentathletic activities.5.4 The peak or maximum values of force, acceleration,dis

27、placement, and strain are dependent on the total impactenergy applied to the specimen. These values are normalized toprovide comparative results for a reference value of totalenergy input.5.5 Impact attenuation outcomes are strongly dependent oninitial conditions (impact mass, impact velocity, conta

28、ct area,etc.) and on specimen size and the specimens prior history ofcompressive loading. Therefore results should be comparedonly for specimens of the same nominal size and priorconditioning.NOTE 1Impact test outcomes have been found to correlate within-vivo loads (peak ground reaction force, peak

29、plantar pressure, lowerextremity acceleration) experienced by runners. Relationships betweentest outcomes and subjective perceptions of cushioning have also beenfound. However, there is no direct evidence of a correlation betweenscores on this test method and the probability of injury among users of
