DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF A CONSTRAINED FIBROUS SYSTEM SUBJECTED TO TRANSVERSE IMPACT. PART 2. A MECHANICAL MODEL.

Abstract

A finite element mechanical model, capable of utilizing experimentally determined material properties, is presented for analyzing the deformation processes in a finite, constrained flexible filament subjected to transverse impact. The model is then used to analyze the results of experimentally impacted finite lengths of nylon yarns rigidly clamped at both ends. The analysis is used to determine the effects of an elastic foundation transversely supporting a flexible filament subjected to transverse impact. An appendix is attached which demonstrates the ability to include rate dependent material properties in the analysis described above.
