Hey,
I would like to design a lightning pole to be installed on the street (or in parking lots).
The height of the pole is about 1m.
I would like to calculate the impact of a car heating the pole in order to evaluate the damage to the pole (and to the car).
I know the car mass (1000-2500[kg]), and the car velocity (10-30 [km/hr]).
Therefore I can calculate the kinetic energy at impact.
I would like to know how do I calculate the damage on the pole, or what are the forces and energies it feels.
TIA, D
