Once the kinematic factor k has been determined and the collision efficiency Ae has been measured, the BBCOR is calculated from kkeBBC OR A ??? )1( ………………………………………… ( 47) 4) Physical parameters vary with the material: The hitting effect of the “sweet spot” varies with the different bat material. It is related with the mass of the ball M , the centerofmass (CM ), the location of the centerofmass d , the location of COP L , the coefficient of restitution BBCOR and the momentofinertia of the bat batI . Controlling variable method analysis M is the mass of the object; d is the location of the centerofmass relative to the pivot point; g is the gravitational field strength; batI is the momentofinertia of the bat as measured about the pivot point on the handle。 3) Both the bat and the ball discussed are under mon conditions.

If an impact force F were to strike the bat at the centerofmass (CM) then point P would experience a translational acceleration the entire bat would attempt to accelerate to the left in the same direction as the applied force, without rotating about the pivot point. If a player was holding the bat in his/her hands, this would result in an impulsive force felt in the hands. ? If the impact force F strikes the bat below the centerofmass, but above the centerofpercussion, point P would experience both a translational acceleration in the direction of the force and a rotational acceleration in the opposite direction as the bat attempts to rotate about its centerofmass. The translational acceleration to the left would be greater than the rotational acceleration to the right and a player would still feel an impulsive force in the hands. ? If the impact force strikes the bat below the centerofpercussion, then point P would still experience oppositely directed translational and rotational accelerations, but now the rotational acceleration would be greater. ? If the impact force strikes the bat precisely at the centerofpercussion, then the translational acceleration and the rotational acceleration in the opposite direction exactly cancel each other. The bat would rotate about the pivot point but there would be no force felt by a player holding the bat in his/her hands. ? Define point O as the centerofpercussion( COP) 1) Locating the COP According to physical knowledge, it can be determined by the following Team 8038 Page 8 of 20 method: Instead of being distributed throughout the entire object, let the mass of the physical pendulum M be concentrated at a single point located at a distance L from the pivot point. This point mass swinging from the end of a string is now a simple pendulum, and its period would be the same as that of the original physical pendulum if the distanceL was MdIL bat? ( 41) This locationL is known as the centerofoscillation. A solid object which oscillates about a fixed pivot point is called a physical pendulum. When displaced from its equilibrium position the force of gravity will attempt to return the object to its equilibrium position, while its inertia will cause it to overshoot. As a result of this interplay between restoring force and inertia the object will swing back and forth, repeating its cyclic motion in a constant amount of time. This time, called the period, depends on the mass of the object M , the location of the centerofmass relative to the pivot point d , the rotational inertia of the object about its pivot point 0I and the gravitational field strengthg according to MgdIT 02?? (42) 2) Analysis of the vibration:[1] Fig. 42 As showed in Fig. 42, mechanical vibration occurs when the bat hits the ball. Hands feel fortable only when the holding position lies in the balance point. The batting point is the vibration source. Define the position of the vibration source as the vibrational node. Now this vibrational node is one of the optional “sweet spots”. Solutions to the two “sweet spot” regions 1) Locating the COP[1][4] Team 8038 Page 9 of 20 ? Determining the parameters: a. mass of the bat M 。 second, define the regions that these optional sweet spots may appear as the “sweet zones”, and the length of each sweet zone as distance。 3) The mass center of the bat moves towards the handle。 d. swing period of the bat on its axis round the pivot T (take an adult male as an example: the distance between the pivot and the knob of the bat is (the distance between Block 1 and Block 2 in Fig.
