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.	en_US
