Study on an efficient modeling for the impact analysis of a flexible body employing Hertzian contact theory

Since thickness deformation and lateral deflection often occurs during the collision of flexible bodies, they should be considered simultaneously in the impact analysis. The thickness deformation, however, cannot be considered in beam/shell theory since the thickness is assumed to be constant in the theory. So, solid elements are employed to estimate the thickness deformation. However, the CPU time increases significantly if solid elements are employed. In the present study, a modeling method for the impact analysis of a flexible body employing Hertzian contact theory is presented. The efficiency and the accuracy of the modeling method are discussed with some numerical examples.
