Research of Dynamic Processes in an Anvil During a Collision with a Sample

Abstract

The paper concerns modelling the dynamics of the contact system of the tested sample with an elastic half-space (anvil) during their collision. The original elements in the paper include the proposed general approach to solving the problem of contact dynamics. The presented approach consists in determining the force of impact on the sample during the collision and the joint solution of the problem for the tested sample and the problem for an elastic semi-space under the conditions of the assumptions of Hertz’s theory. The resulting interaction forces allow the determination of displacements and stresses.
