Penyelidikan Perilaku Mekanik Bola Golf Polymeric Foam yang diperkuat Serat Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit (TKKS) dan Nilon Akibat Beban Tekan Statik dan Impak

Abstract

Testing of polymeric foam golf ball needs to be done to measure how adaptable polymeric foam golf balls in receiving load. Tests conducted on two polymeric foam composition to compare the strength of the material composition of the two cover of a golf ball. Load that happens on a golf ball can be static load and impact load. Imposition of static can occur during storage of golf balls, while the imposition of impact occurs when beating golf balls. The research was carried out to investigate the mechanical behavior that occurs in a polymeric foam golf balls due to static and impact loading. Static testing variables measured in this study is the maximum pressure, maximum stress, and modulus of elasticity the material that making up the polymeric foam golf ball. The impact test in this study was conducted to determine the ability of polymeric foam golf balls in receiving the impact loads. From the test results obtained by static press maximum pressure value 9.23 KN, maximum stress value 24.31 MPa, modulus of elasticity value 27.31 MPa for composition number one of the polymeric foam golf ball, while the second has a maximum pressure value at 6.59 KN, maximum stress value 17.36 MPa, and the modulus of elasticity value 23.45 MPa. The results from impact test showed great distance between the manufacturer golf ball with a polymeric foam golf ball
