Abstract
This chapter provides the analysis of the effect of string tension toward badminton racket. Generally, string tension is one of the crucial parameters on the racket that influences the values of coefficient of restitution (COR) in badminton racket. Therefore, several finite element simulations were carried out to determine the relationship between string tension and deflection of string. The simulations were carried out in varying string tension in order to measure the maximum rebound height and to determine the value of COR. From the finding, the reducing values of string tension leads to higher values of COR. This finding will contribute to the enlargement of sweet spot in badminton racket as well as improving the player performances.
