Simulating Impacts of an Iron Man Suit: Free Program?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on simulating the impact resistance of an Iron Man suit made from various materials like iron, titanium, and nitinol. Users express interest in testing how these materials would perform against different calibers, including 9mm and 105mm tank rounds. There is a request for recommendations on free simulation programs that can model these impacts and material properties. Suggestions include exploring resources that discuss penetration capabilities, though some users note that these may not cover deflection or design variations. The conversation highlights a desire for comprehensive testing of advanced armor designs, particularly from a youthful and innovative perspective.

I want to see what type of impacts a certain suit, say for example, an iron man suit, can handle with different materials. for example, what would happen if you where to make it out of iron compared to titanium or nitinal, what would happen if you shot it with a 9mm or even 105mm tank cannon ect. what would this type of simulation program be called and can i get one for free?

That link kills my IE7 browser. What is it for?
 
The link is to a site that has a large section on what kind of round has what kind of penetration.

It seemed germane to his query.
 
thats all cool, but it doesn't relate to deflection or different design types. what if i design it with nitinal exterior followed by single-crystal titanium and maybe even depleted uranium. followed by a reinforced Kevlar interior. i want to test all of these designs and see what type of rounds it can stop. i would like to design it to stop a 20mm mini-gun cannon, but that seems unlikely. lol i am so different then the people around me. I am 16 :)
 
The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'
Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
