Hi,
Hope this is the correct forum for this kind of question.
I am doing an explicit finite elements simulation of a tank, weighs around 7.5 Kg with internal parts, falls from 1 meter. Since I never had a validation of such an experiment I am trying to understand if the numbers are right.
I get accelerations (after filtering the data and getting rid of the peaks) of internal parts in the tank of around 200G, there is a lot of deformation in there (plastic tank) and some whiplash movements of the internal parts,and the deformation data, velocity and dynamics of the graphical results look good, but I can't wrap my head around the 200G number... Is this number sane? is it possible to get these high Gs with a 1 meter free fall impact?
Thanks for your input.
