Abstract
The effects of the initial conditions of impact dynamics equations are investigated numerically and experimentally. The inadequacies of previous studies on initial conditions are pointed out. Then a coefficient of velocity jump at the moment of impact is introduced, and the experiments for the mental rods are implemented to validate the appending constraints modeling methods for impact process. The comparisons between the experimental and simulated results at different coefficients are used to study the effects of the velocity jump conditions to the numerical simulation. The results indicate that the physical velocity response of bodies during impact is smooth; the different values of velocity jump only have small effects on numerical oscillation of velocity response, and they have no effects on the time history of impact force.
