Abstract
Composite materials have superior properties than single materials, and they have been applied in many fields, for example, sporting goods. In this paper, a battledore was manufactured using fiber composites, and finite element analysis was carried out. The parameterized model of the battledore was established by ANSYS finite element software. Then the displacement, stress and failure of the battledore were analyzed. The results showed that the maximum displacement of the battledore was about 0.9 mm, located at the top of battledore frame, the maximum stress was about 155 MPa, located at the junction of battledore frame and rod, and the maximum failure factor was 0.38, which is higher than that of common aluminum alloy battledore. All the findings suggested that the designed battledore was effective. The battledore has a high safety factor and is worthy of application in practice.
Highlights
With the development of technology and increase of actual demand, composite materials, as substitutes for many metals, have been more and more widely used in many fields [1], for example, aviation, automobile, navy, because of their advantages of low weight and high strength [2]

A battledore which was made of fiber composite material was designed
Summary
With the development of technology and increase of actual demand, composite materials, as substitutes for many metals, have been more and more widely used in many fields [1], for example, aviation, automobile, navy, because of their advantages of low weight and high strength [2]. Greco et al [5] proposed a new multi-scale model for failure analysis of composite materials. Wu et al [6] established the drilling model of carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRP) by finite element software and analyzed the drilling force and torque during drilling process, which made a contribution to reducing the processing defects of CFRP. Christensen [7] tested the failure criteria of fiber reinforced composites, applied sensitivity analysis to the analysis of material failure characteristics, and investigated the future application of the proposed method. The wide application of composites promotes the study of their properties, which in turn promotes the development of composites. The finite element analysis method was used for constructing the parameterized model of the battledore, and the displacement and stress of the battledore were analyzed to understand the possibility of its application in practice
