The Impact of an Elastic Cylinder on an Elastic Solid

抄録

The problem of the collision of an elastic cylinder onto an elastic solid is studied theoretically and experimentally. The effects of the material constants and the contact area on the time history of the impact load are analyzed based on the dynamic theory of elasticity for the solid and on the one dimensional theory of wave propagation for the cylinder. It is shown that the theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the experimental results.
