Villavicencio, R. e Guedes Soares, C. (2011), “Numerical modelling of the boundary conditions on beams stuck transversely by a mass”, ”, International Journal of Impact Engineering, Vol. 38(5), pp. 384-396

In this paper, numerical results of a drop weight impact test examining the dynamic response of a clamped steel beams struck transversely at the centre by a mass with a rectangular indenter are presented. The numerical simulation showed that the results are very sensitive to the way in which the supports are modelled and thus this paper studies the modelling of the structural supports used to clamp the specimen beam in the experiment. The first approach simplifies the structural support as boundary condition on the nodes; the second model represents the entire support as the real approximation; the last approach uses simplified support plate model acting with the beam to simulate the experimental set up. The complete forceedisplacement curve is used to compare the plastic deformation of the impacted beams, thus the best approximation is selected for further calculations. The finite element model was performed using the LS-DYNA non-linear, dynamic finite element software. The numerical calculations can predict accurately the response of deflections, forces and absorbed energies, when proper boundary conditions are applied, in this case with shell elements representing the support plates.
