The Oblique Impact of Elastic Spheres
نویسنده
چکیده
A solution is developed for the oblique impact of an elastic sphere on a half-space. The Hertzian theory of impact is used for the normal components of force and velocity, and it is assumed that the contact area comprises sticking and slipping regions, in the latter of which the coefficient of friction is constant. The mixed boundary value problem for the tangential tractions and displacements is reduced to a system of simultaneous equations by dividing the contact area into a set of concentric annuli. The trajectory of the sphere depends on only two non-dimensional parameters: one related to the angle of incidence and the other to the radius of gyration. A simple rigid body theory of impact gives a reasonable approximation to the more exact method at low and high angles of incidence, but is unsatisfactory at intermediate values. -

Adhesive Contact During the Oblique Impact of Elastic Spheres
An integral representation is developed for the distribution of tangential traction duringadhesive contact between obliquely loaded elastic spheres of similar materials. It is shown thatadhesive conditions arise at the beginning of an impact between two spheres at low angles ofincidence or after an initial period of gross slip for larger angles.A differential equation is dev...

This research deals with axial and oblique impact crash tests on simple and hybrid composite tubes. Axial and oblique impact tests have been generated on simple and hybrid composite tubes with one, two and three layers. A drop test rig was used to conduct the experiments. Furthermore, in order to gain more detailed knowledge about the crash process, finite element simulations of the experim...
متن کاملCreep Stress Redistribution Analysis of Thick-Walled FGM Spheres
Time-dependent creep stress redistribution analysis of thick-walled FGM spheres subjected to an internal pressure and a uniform temperature field is investigated. The material creep and mechanical properties through the radial graded direction are assumed to obey the simple power-law variation throughout the thickness. Total strains are assumed to be the sum of elastic, thermal and creep strain...
متن کاملElastic spheres can walk on water
Incited by public fascination and engineering application, water-skipping of rigid stones and spheres has received considerable study. While these objects can be coaxed to ricochet, elastic spheres demonstrate superior water-skipping ability, but little is known about the effect of large material compliance on water impact physics. Here we show that upon water impact, very compliant spheres nat...
متن کاملA Computational Wear Model of the Oblique Impact of a Ball on a Flat Plate
Many wearing processes are a result of the oblique impacts. Knowing the effective impact parameters on the wear mechanism would be helpful to have the more reliable designs. The H-DD (Hertz-Di Maio Di Renzo) nonlinear model of impact followed by the time increment procedure is used to simulate the impact process of a ball on a flat plate. Restitution parameters are extracted and compared with t...
