By constructing a mathematical model, we consider the dynamics of a tennis racket hit by a ball. Using this model, known experimental results can be simulated on the computer, and it becomes possible to make a parametric study of a racket. Such a simulation is essential in the study of two important problems related to tennis: computation of the resulting forces and moments transferred to the hand should assist understanding of the medical problem 'tennis elbow'; secondly, simulation will enable a study to be made of the relationships between the impact time, tension in the strings, forces transmitted to the rim and return velocity of the ball, all of which can lead to the optimal design of rackets.
通过构建一个数学模型，我们研究了网球击球时网球拍的动力学情况。利用这个模型，可以在计算机上模拟已知的实验结果，并且能够对球拍进行参数研究。这种模拟对于研究与网球相关的两个重要问题至关重要：计算传递到手上的合力和力矩，这有助于理解医学问题“网球肘”；其次，模拟将能够研究击球时间、球拍线张力、传递到球拍边缘的力以及球的回弹速度之间的关系，所有这些都能促成球拍的优化设计。
