OS-V: 1200 Bar Impact
Taylor TestAn elastic-plastic cylindrical bar impacts a rigid planar target with a high velocity (120-266 m/s). Verify the deformation results with the real test results.
Cylindrical bar: length L = 16mm, radius R = 4mm
Model Files
Benchmark Model
The finite element model, as shown in Figure 1 is meshed with first order CHEXA elements (32 elements along its length and 8 elements along its radius). The bar to target contact is frictionless. The appropriate boundary conditions are applied on the symmetry planes of the quarter model. The cylindrical bar is imparted 3 different velocities of 120.170 and 266 m/s.
