What is the difference between Impact and sudden loading? Explanation with an example would be convenient.
Impact loading is a type of loading where a force is applied gradually over a period of time, while sudden loading is a type of loading where a force is applied suddenly and without warning.
In most cases, sudden loading is more damaging to structures as it causes a higher stress concentration in a shorter amount of time, resulting in a higher chance of failure.
Yes, impact loading can be controlled or prevented through various methods such as using shock-absorbing materials or implementing design changes to distribute the force over a larger area.
Examples of impact loading include collisions between objects, dropping heavy objects, and sudden changes in wind or water pressure on structures.
The effect of sudden loading is measured using various parameters such as stress, strain, and deformation. These measurements can help determine the extent of damage caused by the sudden loading event.
