Project 1 - Impact of Ball on Wall

Objective:A rigid ball impacting on a plate of Non-linear aluminium alloy of dimensions 100x100x5 mm is impacted with a ball of diameter 10 mm of steel material with a velocity of 50 m/s, 250 m/s and 500 m/s respectively. Mesh the model properly and assign the contact properties as required for development of the model. Find the total deformation of the plate also observe at which velocity the plate will be ruptured.

Procedure:

1)Perform explicit analysis for the impact problem.

2)Design a plate with 100*100*5mm and a ball with dia of 10mm.

3)The height of the ball is placed at 2mm from the plate.

4)Assign non-linear al alloy to the plate and structural steel material to the ball.

5)Perform mesh to the geometry.

6)Assign velocity to the ball so that it impact on the plate.

7)Analyze the results.

Results:

a)50m/s

b)250m/s

c)500m/s:
