Abstract
The main focus of this paper is to analyze the behavior of the snowboard under different circumstances including the materials and the ways it is being ridden. The shape of the snowboard determines the board’s dynamic characteristics and performance [1][2]. In this research, traditional camber snowboards are analyzed by applying finite element method. Two riding conditions including normal riding on the flat surfaces and rail riding and two different kinds of materials which are beech wood and fiberglass (E-glass) are combined to be analyzed. Analyzing how the snowboards behave under different conditions allows designers to understand what they should modify to optimize the performances of the snowboard. It also gives the manufacturers a better understanding of what kinds of materials they should be using to ensure the long-lasting performance of the snowboard. Moreover, it helps riders to choose the most suitable snowboard for them based on their riding habits.
