A steel sphere of diameter D = 2 cm impacts on a PW S-2 Glass/SC15 composite plate of dimensions L x W x H = 8 cm x 8 cm x 0.2 cm with an impact velocity of V = 100 m/s. The plate is modeled with two parts, PID = 101 & 102 with material orientation BETA = 0 & 90 degrees. The unit system cm-gm-us-10MN -100GPa -100kJ [cgu] is used in this example. A second problem of sphere impact is also presented on a plate of dimensions L x W x H = 50 cm x 50 cm x 0.4 cm with a sphere of diameter D = 10 cm at an impact velocity of V = 200 m/s.
A steel sphere of diameter D = 2 cm and an elastic steel plate of dimensions L x W x H = 20 cm x 2 cm x 1 cm impacts on the corner edge of a PW S-2 Glass/SC15 composite plate of dimensions L x W x H = 8 cm x 8 cm x 0.2 cm with an impact velocity of [Vx,Vy,Vz] = [300,300,0] m/s. The plate is modeled with ten parts, PID = 101 to 110 with material orientation BETA = [0,90]_5 degrees. The unit system cm-gm-us-10MN -100GPa -100kJ [cgu] is used in this example.
