Increased Impact Resistance of Cross-Country Ski Poles by Improved, Simulation Assisted Composite Design

Increased Impact Resistance of Cross-Country Ski Poles by Improved, Simulation Assisted Composite Design

High-end carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) ski poles of today are lighter and stiffer than previous generations, explained by the higher specific stiffness (stiffness to density ratio) for CFRPs, typically in the range of 0.1 GPa m3/kg compared to approximately 0.03 GPa m3/kg for aluminium. In...
