| Abstract/Contents: | "The differential slip wear machine was first developed for the simulation of football-type wear occurring on sports pitches. Recently the capabilities of the machine have been considerably extended by developing wear treatments appropriate to fine turf. These new treatments, described below, were designed to simulate the effects of (a) golf spikes; (b) abrasion. It is thought that the abrasive treatment would also be suitable for research on other types of amenity grassland, e.g. footpaths, parks and recreation areas where abrasion and compaction caused by walking are the principal forms of wear. A method is described for quantifying the wear treatments in terms of the energy expended externally, i.e. into the turf during the period of twelve months using golf and football wear. Order of magnitude results suggest that during wear the powerful 3.73 kW engine is only operating at 5-6% of its full power and this corresponds to an energy expenditure of 0.26-0.29 kJ m-1 travelled by the machine. In terms of energy expenditure the golf wear treatment is equivalent to about 10 walking passes and the football wear equivalent to about 4 running passes. However, an analysis of the mechanics of walking and running as compared with mechanical wear, suggests that the artificial wear treatments are more severe than these figures indicate. The latter analysis also suggests design improvements to enhance the realism of artificial wear and increase compaction without the addition of further weight to the machine." |
