Hex and Tetra meshing challenge - Assignment 2

Objective: 1. Check the material properties of the rail component and calculate the speed of sound in steel rail Ans: c=sqrt(E/ρ) = sqrt(21x1010/0.0078)=sqrt(21x1010/0.0078)=105xsqrt(2692.3)=51.88x105mm/s or 5188m/s 2. The length of the rail is about 1000 mm.calculate the time takes for a shock wave to travel…
