Elementary Scaling Law for Rod Impact Specimens

摘要

An elementary one-dimensional analysis is presented for the impact of a rigid-plastic rod against an immovable anvil. One consequence of this analysis is a relationship among the quantities final rod length, final undeformed rod length and final diameter of the impact face. This theoretical relation is compared with actual experimental data and shown to be approximately correct. Keywords: Rod Impact Test, Scaling Law, Plastic Deformation, Reprints.
