Driven by Rower Specific Data and Variable Rigging Setup Master Thesis
Forward dynamic model for rowing performance; driven by rower specific data and variable rigging setup Master Thesis by J.T. Voordouw to obtain the degree of Master of Science at the Delft University of Technology, to be defended publicly on 30 April 2018 Biomechanical Design Department of Biomechanical Engineering Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering Delft University of Technology Student number: 4152689 Thesis committee: Dr. Ir. A. L. Schwab, Supervisor, TU Delft Prof. Dr. Ir. H. Vallery, TU Delft Prof. Dr. Ir. M. Wisse, TU Delft Dr. M. J. Hofmijster, VU Amsterdam Ir. E. Meenhorst, KNRB Abstract Introduction Every crew has its own rowing style and every rower has her own technique. Com- bining rowers with different techniques in one crew is a challenge, but very important, because a crew that rows in better synchrony will perform better. In order to make a crew row in better synchrony, coaches often expect the rowers to adjust their technique into a common stroke of the boat. How- ever, in practice professional rowers are only able to change very few aspects of their technique, they maintain an individual biomechanical fingerprint (rowing signature). To study the influence of the rower behavior on the boat performance, a one-dimensional rowing model is created, based on one rower individual specific stroke. The model is driven with data that is measured in the boat during a (practice) race. It can be validated with the measured boat motions and expected rower motions. Also the influence of the rigging parameters on the rower and boat movements is investigated. Background The rowing stroke is a periodic movement of the rower, the oar and the blade. -
