dc.description.abstract |
The objective of this study was to use a personal computer based
nonlinear finite element analysis / event simulation software package by
Algor, Inc. to simulate and analyze the transverse elasto-plastic impact of a
cantilever beam due to a free falling object striking the free end of the beam.
The results of the computer analysis were compared to results of actual
laboratory impact tests. Based upon these comparisons, the accuracy /
validity of the economical PC based software was evaluated. There are
approximation methods and closed form solutions to impact problems within
the elastic limit, however, these methods are only applicable for simple
geometries. Currently, no closed form mathematical solutions to post yield
impact problems. The PC based software, due to its affordability, can
provide a solution method for such problems to the general engineering
population. |
