Impact of an Aluminum Bar on a Rigid Boundary

An aluminum cylindrical bar traveling at a velocity of 478 m/sec along its axial direction hits a rigid boundary. Calculate the response of the bar as a function of time and determine the minimum length of the bar.

In this lesson, you learn the following:

  • Specifying a material that uses the von Mises Plasticity model with isotropic hardening
  • Setting up the drop test study and result options
  • Plotting and graphing displacements
