Here's my situation...
I have a loader dumping rock onto a proposed screening rack to separate stone sizes.
The typical load is estimated at 4100kg and falls about 1m above the screen.
My velocity at impact works out to about 4.4m/s just before impact (determined by SQRT(2 x 9.81m/s^2 x Height of fall).
From this my impulse works out to (mass x change in velocity) 18,040 kg-m/s
How do I determine the Impact Force? I don't know the deflection, or the change in time to bring the load to rest - these are both unkown.
Any pointers?
