Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Integrated Billiard Cue Based on Finite Element Analysis
To explore the basis for material selection of the shaft in billiard cues,this study employs the finite element analysis method to analyze the mechanical properties of billiard cue shafts made from different wood species.There are six materials selected including:Ash(Fraxinus chinensis),Beech(Zelkova schneideriana),Oriental White Oak(Quercus aliena),Maple(Acer mono),Dalbergia odorifera(Dalbergia odorifera),and Walnut(Juglans regia).With the aid of ANSYS Workbench simulation to present the collision situation when the billiard cue strikes the ball,the mechanical properties of billiard cues made of different materials are analyzed.By comparing the speed values obtained by the billiard balls after being struck by different billiard cues,the superiority and inferiority of the force transmission performance of the shafts are determined,and the strength performance is evaluated based on the maximum stress endured by the billiard cues during the striking process.The results show that for the force transmission performance of the billiard cues,the Ash cue can exert the best force transmission performance,while the Dalbergia odorifera cue has the worst force transmission performance.The force transmission performance is negatively correlated with density,ER,ET,μRT,and μLT,but positively correlated with GLT,GLR,and μLR.All six billiard cues have sufficient strength to ensure that the billiard cues will not be damaged when striking the ball.
