An in-depth look at the current testing method used to measure rotational resistance and traction, and how IT is failing to provide realistic simulations of athlete-to-surface interaction. Stability, consistency, and adequate traction with appropriate cleat release...
Improved Methods for Measuring Rotational Resistance in Artificial and Natural Grass Playing Surfaces. A number of sophisticated devices have been developed to measure rotational resistance and traction for artificial and natural grass playing surfaces. These devices...
Trees are some of the most steadfast natural structures globally; owing to their particularly strong and durable cell walls, they can withstand extraordinary stresses in the natural environment. This characteristic makes wood a natural choice for so many current...
Wood products have countless uses in our modern world. From furniture and flooring, to children’s toys and paper products, you are likely never more than an arm’s reach away from something made of wood. Wood is durable, renewable, and affordable, making it...
There are over 12,000 artificial turf infilled systems in the United States, and more are installed every year. Synthetic sports fields are used as a substitute when natural grass is not an option. Artificial turfs provide several advantages, notably the durability to...
To design and install an artificial turf field successfully it’s important to understand how different materials behave under temperature and climatic changes. Many companies have varying installation practices so we studied the forces at work in artificial turf, and...
