Abstract
Impact tests are the most common tests for high-strength materials. These tests not only specify the rigidity of the component but also determine the life expectancy of a machine part. Therefore, it is important to test various machine components for using different impact analyses. In this work, a single plate made of steel is impacted by two cylinders at each end also made of steel. The analysis was carried out using the Dynamic Analysis module of ANSYS Workbench.The distance between the cylinders is kept constant for simplified analysis. Also, the impact velocity was kept the same for the two cylinders. Furthermore, a plate of epoxy carbon UD (395 GPa) was also simulated for deformation, stress, and strain. The analysis yields the reaction of the steel plate and epoxy carbon UD (395GPa) prepreg material when impacted by two cylinders simultaneously. The deformation, stress, and strain simulation results show the effect of impact on the plate.
