“…Dependence of the elastic force F on the deformation of the shaper x On the basis of the conducted experiments, the dependence of the elastic force on the deformation for the studied shaper was determined (the diameter of the shaper is 152 mm; the shaper height is 25 mm; the dynamic force rating of the shaper is 45300 kgf): F = 2•10 17 •x 4 -2•10 12 •x 3 -7•10 10 •x 2 -9•10 6 •x + 3138.The hysteresis of this characteristic can be explained by the internal friction in the material of the shaper and the friction in the guides during shock and rebound. Based on the model presented in[14], the obtained dependence can be used to refine the output parameters of the experiment. Thus, the simulated shock pulses, considering the nonlinearity of the elastic force characteristic, are shown in Figure5.…”
