Project 1 - Impact of Ball on Plate

IMPACT OF BALL ON A PLATE

The given problem is solved using ansys workbench.

firstly we model the given problem using space claim.

Next we mesh the model appropriately as shown in the figure below:

once the meshing is done, we give the boundary condition and specify the velocity at which the ball strikes the plate . The results are shown below:

1)when striked at 50m/s.

result: the maximum deformation will be 0.13846. There is no rupture observed on the plate.

2)when striked at 250m/s.

result: the maximum deformation will be 0.2138. the plate ruptures for this velocity.

3)when striked at 500m/s.

result: the maximum deformation will be 0.24058. there is a major rupture in the plate.
