Impact Analysis of the Internal Variation of Golf Ball

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact effect of varied structure of golf ball. The researcher applied finite element analysis software LS-DYNA to do nonlinear impact analysis of different golf ball models. It was hoped that this study could design a better golf ball for golfer.
The researcher had developed ten stress versus strain curves of two-piece golf balls (including a core and a cover) and three-piece golf balls (including a core, an inner cover and a cover) and four different thicknesses of inner cover of three-piece golf balls. The simulation also adjust the density of inner cover to analyze the impact procedure under the definite weight. With the special design of two-piece balls and three-piece balls, the impact models extract the ball velocities, and angular velocities for the calculation of the ball flight. Finally, the researcher made suggestions for some combination of material property and thickness of the core and the inner cover of the golf ball for the designer to develop a suitable golf ball.
