본 연구는 축구화 겉창의 스터드개발시 운동역학적 연구가 스터드개발에 어떻게 영향을 끼치었는가를 국외 선행연구문헌을 고찰함으로서 그 과정을 발견하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 지난 70년간 축구화 스터드가 연구개발되는 과정에서 압력분포측정 실험 및 기타 상해유발요인을 분석함으로서 스터드의 형태을 변화시키는 과정에 있어서 축구장 바닥과 축구화 겉창과의 마찰력이 중요한 변수로 작용하였다. 징이 선수들의 미끄럼을 방지하고 순발력을 향상시켜 경기력 향상에 결정적인 도움을 준 것이다. 이후 징박힌 축구화가 보편화하면서 선수들은 공격수냐 수비수냐 또는 잔디 상태에 따라 징의 개수와 길이가 다른 축구화를 신게 되었는데, 그라운드 컨디션에 따라 신발이 개발되었다. 축구화는 징의 종류에 따라 길고 푹신한 잔디($5{\sim}7$월 잔디)에 신는 50(soft ground)형, 짧고 단단한 잔디(가을철 잔디)에 적합한 FG(firm ground)형, 인조잔디나 아주 짧은 잔디에 좋은 터프(Turf)형, 맨땅에 쓰는 HG(hard ground)형으로 대별되는데, SG형은 15mm가 넘는 마그네슘 징을 6개 박는데 순발력과 파워를 극대화하기 때문에 수비수에 어울리는 스타일이다. 짧은 플리우레탄 징 12개를 다는 FG형은 넓은 그라운드 접촉면을 이루면서도 잔디에 깊게 박히지 않아 유연성을 필요로 하는 공격수와 미드필더들에게 애용된다. 그라운드 상황이 좋지 않은 곳에서 뛰는 국내 고교, 대학 선수들은 12개의 징이 달린 축구화를 선호한다. 스터드가 많을 수록 그라운드에 닿는 면적이 넓어 안정감도 있고 발목이 꺾이는 현상을 줄여주기 때문이다. 지금까지의 연구현황은 압력분포 및 지면반력실험을 이용한 결과치를 이용하여 새로운 타입의 축구화 스터드의 개발결과를 기존결과와 비교 분석하여 상해유발발생요인이 적은 스타일의 스터드를 선호하였다. 이에 향후 연구개발시 운동역학적 연구의 디자인 시 상해유발요인분석과 운동역학적 연구결과의 조합을 결과를 비교분석해서 국내에서도 축구화 겉창 스터드 연구개발시 경기력을 향상시키고, 상해유발요인을 감소시킬 수 있는 연구디자인이 지속되는 것이 중요하다고 사료된다.

The main objective of this study is to improve abrasion resistance and wet slip resistance of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) by blending with ethylene-propylene-diene monomer rubber (EPDM) or polybutadiene rubber (BR) for the application of the footwear outsole materials. With addition of 10 wt% of EPDM or BR, TPU/EPDM and TPU/BR blends exhibited higher NBS abrasion resistance, tensile properties and wet slip resistance than TPU. However, with further increasing content of EPDM and BR, abrasion resistance and tensile properties of the blends decreased. Improvement in abrasion resistance and tensile properties with 10 wt% of addition of EPDM or BR may be due to better microphase separation of TPU.

The purposes of this study were to a analysis of friction relation between tennis outsole and tennis playing surfaces. Tennis footwear is an important component of tennis game equipment. It can support or damage players performance and comfort. Most importantly athletic shoes protect the foot preventing abrasions and injuries. Footwear stability in court sports like tennis is incredibly important since it is estimated that as many as 45% of all lower extremity injuries occur in the foot and ankle. The friction force is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it. The friction force opposes the motion of the object. Friction results when two surfaces are pressed together closely, causing attractive intermolecular forces between the molecules of the two different surfaces. The outsole provides traction and reduces wear on the midsole. Today's outsoles address sport specific movements (running versus pivoting) and playing surface types. Different areas of the outsole are designed for the distinct frictional needs of specific movements. Traction created by the friction between the outsole and the surface allows the shoe to grip the surface. As surfaces, conditions and player motion change, traction may need to vary. An athletic shoe needs to grip well when running but not when pivoting. Laboratory tests have demonstrated force reductions compared to impact on concrete. There is a correlation between pain, injury and surface hardness. These are a variety of traction patterns on the soles of athletic shoes. Traction like any other shoe characteristic must be commensurate and balanced with the sport. The equal and opposite force does not necessarily travel back up your leg. The surface itself absorbs a portion of the force converting it to other forms of energy. Subsequently, tennis court surfaces are rated not only for pace but also for the percentage of force reduction.

Many occupational workers or professionals have to walk on the various floors for a long period of time. The objective of this study was to develop the safety shoes with increased traction through the material selection. In order to fulfill our objective, first, two kinds of filler were selected to compare the wear mechanism at outsole surface. The developed rubber materials were tested with two kinds of portable slip meters. The sample safety shoes with developed rubber materials were also tested with subject in the laboratory. During walking, the safety shoes were naturally abraded with counter surface. The coefficient of friction(COF) was gradually decreased with number of steps to 30,000, while the COF was abruptly increased from 30,000 to 40,000. The experimental results showed that COF tested with silica rubber was at least 10% higher than that with carbon black rubber in wet or detergent condition. It has been well recognized that filler properties play a important role in wet traction in the tire industry. However it has been unclear that filler properties would be decisive factor in safety shoes. Our study shows that silica exhibits a higher slip resistance than carbon black without reference to wear states in wet or detergent condition. So, this results will provide guides for outsole compounders to develop new products and improve product performance.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adhesive properties of polyurethane mixed aqueous dispersions by omitting the primer, dealing with the preparation of skins for synthetic leather with excellent adhesion by omitting the pre-treatment process. The two-component mixed polyurethane water dispersion was prepared by synthesizing an ester-based polyurethane resin (PU-T) and a carbonate-based polyurethane resin (PU-C) to obtain the final resin. As a result of measuring the peel strength of the adhesive specimens omitting the pre-treatment agent, it was confirmed that the state adhesive strength (ethylene vinyl acetate (middle): $4.2kg_f/cm$ and rubber (outsole): $4.4kg_f/cm$) there was. This makes it possible to omit the pre-treatment process which has been indispensably used in the shoe manufacturing process, thereby reducing the process time and reducing the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated in the pre-treatment product, resulting in environmentally advantageous.

In this study, to overcome a complicated shoe adhesion process such as buffing, pre-treatment by primer in the rubber component of the shoe, we studied adhesion mechanical properties with rubber compound added water-soluble salt for the purpose of improving the adhesion between midsole and outsole. Acid salts, basic salt and neutral salts were evaluated, rubber containing basic salts showed excellent adhesion to water-based adhesion. Since the basic salt is present as the hydroxy salt, the surface of rubber is hydrophilized. The results are confirmed by contact angle and IR spectroscopy measurement. In addition, in the case of rubber compound added basic salts, NBS abrasion resistance and hardness were increased by increasing crosslink density, but crosslink time was delayed.

This paper introduces a measurement system for mechanical properties of sport shoes using an industrial robot. The robot system used in this paper is a commercial Puma type robot system(FARA AT2 made by SAMSUNG Electronics) with 6 joints and the end-effector is modified to produce a human walking motion. After analyzing human walking with a high speed video camera, each joint angle of the robot system is extracted to be used in the robot system. By using this system, ground impact forces were measured during stepping motion with 3 different shoe specimens made of 3 different hardness outsoles, respectively. As other mechanical properties, both bending moments to bend the toe part of the same specimen shoes and pronation quantities during walking motion were measured as well. In the impact test with the same depth of deformation under the ground level, the effect of the outsole hardness was clearly appeared such that the harder outsole produces the higher ground reaction force. The bending test and the pronation test also show proportional increments in the bending stiffness and the moment Mx according to the outsole hardness. Throughout such experiments, the robot system has produced consistent results so that the system could be used in obtaining valuable informations for a shoe designing process.
