Dynamics of a rigid plate impacting a glass plate: A one dimensional analysis considering failure-wave propagation

Dynamics of a rigid plate impacting a glass plate is presented considering failure-wave and shock-wave propagations in the target material in addition to an elastic precursor. A generalized one dimensional theoretical failure-shock-elastic (FSE) model is developed and later simplified to study different impact scenarios on glass. While the nonlinear equations of the FSE model is solved numerically, an analytical solution is obtained for the...
