Abstract
A mobile apparatus that is automated to measure controlled and applied forces and moments to sport surfaces allowing for performance and safety assessment of athletic apparel and athletic surfaces, such as natural or artificial turf. The apparatus is capable of using not only shear and compressive forces, but also rotational moments, and all prescribed forces and moments in combination at the same or different times. The apparatus and related system can link these forces and moments together and combine them to more closely mimic behaviors of a human foot during an athletic movement, thereby applying and measuring interactions between all forces and moments at the same or different times.
