Hello,
I need to calculate the impact that a car (small car) has on a metal structure.
What I know:
The mass of the car : 99 kg, the velocity of the car : max 3 km / h -> 0,833333 m / s
Thus the force of the car at 3 km / h is 82,5 Newton.
Now I need to know how much that metal structure can receive as impact.
The structure is made of steel tubes with keyclamps. The tubes have a diameter of 42,4 mm and they weights 2.57 kg / m.
The thing is that the structure is fasten in the ground with screws :p what doesn't make it easier to calculate I guess.
I know it's a long shot, but if somebody could help me out how I can try to find something out to give a result ?
The thing is I have learned all of these at high school but it's too long ago and can't remember :(
Thanks for your help.
Regards from Belgium
