CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE NORMAL STRESS (X AXIS) DEVELOPED ON A 2000X100X4MM PLATE DURING THE IMPACT WITH A 6.2KG CYLINDRICAL BODY

This article belongs to a series of papers covering a complex study regarding the impact of a 6.2kg cylindrical body on a 2000x1000x4mm plate using the software based on finite element theory. This study is considering the plate to be fixed on all 4 sides and a cylindrical body hits it with impact speeds from 1 to 20m/s. Also, the standard earth gravity is considered to be active. The studies were carried out in ANSYS 12.1. Both, plate and body are considered to be made from structural steel. At the impact, the geometry is presented in below figure:
