Dynamic behaviour of Various Fibre Systems During Impact Interaction - Numerical Approach

The paper presented shows a part of investigations covering the contact problem in numerical modelling using an explicit code. The authors have outlined the parameters and factors that have a direct impact on a proper contact definition, which, as is known, has much importance in finite element analyses. For the purpose of the study, a test model was proposed, where an interaction between a net and chosen 3D object with relatively small geometric dimensions and low weight was simulated. Additionally several net structures were analysed in which their contact characteristic was modified. Different interaction conditions in each case resulted in a different influence on the 3D object's behaviour, especially its velocity and trajectory changes.
