Abstract

In this study, we introduce a comprehensive computational model for the design and performance evaluation of composite snow ski boards. The proposed approach and model involve the precise adjustment of the ski's profile through parametric geometric modelling, followed by an in-depth evaluation of its structural behaviour using finite element analysis (FEA). This allows for a robust qualitative and quantitative assessment approach that aims to significantly enhance the design and performance of ski boards. The integration of parametric modelling and finite element analysis facilitates a more efficient and iterative design process, allowing for the optimization of various geometric parameters to achieve desired performance characteristics.
