In ski jump, minimizing the energy loss when sliding down the track is crucial for improving
jump performance. In particular, it is essential to reduce the friction between the ice track and …

The purposes of this study are to develop a simulator generating a ski board vibration in
actual skiing and to perform the basic construction for clarifying the ski sliding mechanism …

When skiing, excessive ski vibrations can affect comfort, control and performance. Through
the years, much efforts have been invested in understanding and reducing these ski …

Modeling of ski friction requires an in-depth understanding of the ski-snow contact. For this
aim, we implemented the Euler–Bernoulli beam equations for an embedded cross-country …

Cross-country skiing holds a significant place in Norway's cultural history as the national
sport. It plays a crucial role both in public health as a recreational activity and as a highly …

Elastic and dynamic characteristics of jumping-skis affect ski performance at all four ski
jumping phases. Compared with the number of studies on alpine-skis, there have been few …

The purposes of this study are to develop the new simulator generating high frequency
component of a ski board vibration in skiing and to investigate the key factor to influence the …

Resistance forces from the surface of snow acting on an alpine ski–skier system make the
turning motion of the system possible. When the system has high velocity, the snow …

The complexity of the load response on a modern cross-country ski makes it difficult to
address the individual macroscopic parameters' influence on ski-snow friction. FIn this study …

Deflection is recognized as an important property of skis, as well as the side cut. The
deformation of a ski must affect the formation of the turn trajectory on the snow. Usually, the …
