- I have been trying without much success to find the amount of
- damage that a machine part will suffer when it is impacted by
- a moving body. I understand that when the kinetic energy of
- the moving body exceeds the maximum elastic strain energy of
- the machine part, the part will (if we neglect the inertia of
- the part and the energy dissipated during impact) either suffer
- some permanent deformation or be crushed at the location where
- the cross-sectional area is minimum. I however do not know
- how to find by how much the part will be crushed in such a case.
- It could be found experimentally but it would also be beneficial
- to be able to theoretically predict things. The material is
- pretty brittle but to simplify things, it might be easier to
- ignore failure by crack propagation. Any help will be greatly
- appreciated.
