10.3.1 Our Purpose in This Chapter is to calculate the stresses and deformations that occur on a solid object as a result of a weight falling

or being applied suddenly on it, and to compare it with the values ​​in the case of static loading. The subject will be explained through examples.

Example 10.3.1

10.3.2 General Solution Logic: The dropped mass hits the other object with its initial energy and an impact force occurs. The work done by this force on the struck object turns into strain energy in the struck object. As a result, the initial energy of the dropped object is stored as deformation energy in the object it hits. Some energy may be lost during impact, but this is neglected.

An object of mass M, whose dimensions are negligible, is dropped from a height h onto a rod of mass m, elastic modulus E and cross-section A. Calculate the amount of deflection in the rod.

Dynamic multiplier from equation 10.3.28:

from equ. 10.3.31 :

(The stress is twice as high as in the static situation)

from equ. 10.3. 29:

(The amount of deflection (shortening) is twice as much as in the static situation)

If the energy lost during the impact (𝑈lost) is not neglected:

 

The 𝜉 term comes into the dynamic multiplier equation. Namely:

 

𝜉 is calculated by the side equation:

 

If the mass of the struck object (i.e. the fixed rod) is negligible (𝑚≈0), 𝜉 = 1 is found from equation 10.3.33. Equations 10.3.32 and 10.3.28 become the same. This means that the lost energy 𝑈lost can be neglected. (𝑈lost ≈0)

If we divide both sides of equation 10.3.30 by area A:
