Evaluation of Sliding Behavior of Simple Structures for Oblique Collision

Article Preview

Abstract:

When a simple structure collides with inclined barrier, behavior and deformation of the structure after impact are different in the case in which the structure slides on a contact surface or the case in which it does not slide. In order to investigate the structural collapse behavior for oblique collided structure, therefore, it is important to clarify the sliding behavior of the structure on the contact surface. The sliding behavior of the structure during collision was estimated according to theoretically obtained the equation considering the equilibrium of change in the momentum and the impulse before and after the collision. For evaluating the sliding behavior of the simple structure, the impact test by the drop type impact testing machine was carried out to collide with inclined barrier. In the impact test, the circular plate of 60 mm diameter and 10 mm thickness was used as the simple structure, and impacted with various collision velocities (range from 2 to 6 m/s). The sliding behavior of the simple structure at the collided surface was observed by high speed camera, and evaluated by the image analysis. The theoretical result was compared to evaluate with experimental results.
