Dynamic fracture is investigated in plate applied by impacting bar. Numerical simulations of the experiments are made by using a finite element method(FEM) code, LS-DYNA. The eroding surface-to-surface contact allows between impacting bar and impacted plate. The occurrence of hourglass deformations in an analysis can invalidate results and hourglass energy is minimized to obtain the good accuracy of result. Total, internal and kinetic energies, von Mises plastic stress and X,Y,Z velocities of impacting bar are analyzed in this study.
