Modes of Vibration in Basketball Rims and Backboards and the Energy Rebound Testing Device by Daniel Winarski, Kip P. Nygren, Tyson Winarski

“…Six mode shapes, including bending and torsion, were documented for five different basketball rims and backboards at the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York, NY, USA. The frequency and damping ratio of each mode shape were also determined. …”

Finite Element Analysis versus Empirical Modal Analysis of a Basketball Rim and Backboard by Daniel Winarski, Kip P. Nygren, Tyson Winarski

“…The second goal was to validate this model by comparing the finite element calculated mode shapes and frequencies to the empirical modal analysis previously measured at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Five mode shapes and frequencies agreed rather well between the theoretical finite element analysis and previously published empirical modal analysis, specifically where the rim was vibrating in the vertical direction, which was the direction that the accelerometer was aligned for the empirical modal analysis. …”

“…It is based on virtue ethics and takes an approach similar to West Point military academy. The purpose of this research was: (i) to compare the virtue profiles of our residents with that of the military cohort using a standardized virtue assessment tool; and (ii) to assess the value of virtue education on residents. …”
