Tensile member fluid chamber: NikeRecent Research Landscape

Standard fluid chambers lack structural definition and ergonomic fit, leading to performance instability. This lever engineers internal spacer geometries to maintain precise volumetric shapes under pressure.

What technical problems is Nike addressing in Tensile member fluid chamber?

Uncontrolled pressurized chamber deformation

(5)evidences

Standard fluid chambers fail to match complex anatomical contours of the foot. Improving geometric fit prevents localized pressure points and mechanical instability.

Uncontrolled chamber wall bulging

(3)evidences

Internal fluid pressure causes uncontrolled expansion or bulging in flexible containers. Controlling this geometry ensures consistent mechanical response and prevents material fatigue.

Uncontrolled chamber surface bulging

(1)evidences

Standard textiles lack the necessary internal void space to maintain fluid displacement or mechanical loft under load. Increasing the three-dimensional gap between layers prevents physical collapse and improves energy absorption.
