Analysis of Golf ImpactPhenomenon and Club Head Design

The purpose of this study is to integrate the efficiency of the computer-aided design software Pro Engineer and the finite element analysis software LS-DYNA on the structural design of the golf club head. By means of the parametric design characteristics of Pro Engineer, various thickness and different shapes of the golf club head have been studied. The impact model will extract the ball velocities and spins for a given hit location on the club face which is analyzed by the software LS-DYNA. After that, the factors for influencing the dynamic analysis, such as the thickness and the shape of the hitting face, the off-center hitting, the ball velocity and spin, the stress distribution, and stress propagation in the head are further identified and measured. Finally, the effects of the factors described above have been analyzed quantitatively to investigate the maximum velocity of the ball and the sweet spot of the golf club head.
