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 :)
 
Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
