Hello Everyone, I'm hoping you can help with this.
I need to set up a test on a dynamic test rig which can simulate shock impacts upon a spring (actually it's a hard rubber based component).
The test has previously been done on a rig which dropped a mass of 78Kg onto the part until destruction, but the equipment is no longer availble. Therefore I want to find a solution which allows me to use the dynamic rig which can provide shock impacts which are controlled by displacement in mm.
So, my question relates to how I can calculate the impact force upon the part when I know the following:
1) Mass of the object being dropped
2) Height of the object being dropped
3) The density of the part being hit, in N / mm (The rubber part)
I can then set the equipment to cycle over a displacement which provides the correct peak loading from the calculation.
I hope I have provided enough info.
Thanks in advance!
Nick
