Abstract
A driver–golf ball impact was modeled and sound predicted using finite elements and boundary element methods. The driver head model had some features (artwork and scallops) removed to simplify the model. This de-featuring resulted in some of the simulated modes to be slightly lower than the ‘tap test’ measured modes of the fully featured, production driver. Computed acoustic modes in areas of the club head not de-featured matched experimental modes. Additionally, the impact sound simulation of a golf ball with a United States Golf Association coefficient of restitution titanium plate, with no features omitted, was completed. Acoustic pressure modes predicted well the modes measured by an accelerometer as the plate was excited by a modal hammer.
