SUMMARY

With thrust-to-weight ratios in aircraft gas turbine engines

increasing, all components are required to operate at higher steady-

stress levels. This situation, coupled with cyclic life limits based

on crack propagation, demands a better understanding of the operating

environment and various loading conditions to which a component may be

subjected throughout its useful life. Vibratory stresses induced in

rotating airfoils by toreign object impacts are a real part of jet

engine operating environments and require careful consideration when

designing high performance blades. However, before one can analyze

a component for such conditions, the loading mechanism must be under-

stood. This has been investigated for members of similar stiffnesses

impacting each other (References 1 through 4), but little work has been

done to define and analyze the effect of a soft body impacting a member

with the approximate geometry and stiffness of a fan blade. The first

step toward accomplishing this understanding is to fabricate several

cantilever beam test specimens, impact them with soft projectiles, and

record the strain response at various locations as a function of time.

From this data base, a simple beam theory model can be evaluated for

several different cases, each treating the impact as a slightly dif-

ferent phenomenon, but based on the common assumption that all the

projectile momentum is transferred to the beam. The results indicate

that a soft-body impact on a cantilever beam can be modeled as forced

vibration for the duration of the impact, then free vibration for all

time thereafter. The forcing function created by the projectile is

best modeled as a step-function distributed over an area. Damping in

the system has a significant effect on strain in the beam, but is dif-

ficult to accurately predict, and thus should not be considered in

maximum strain calculations. However, an accurate strain/time history

can be predicted if modal damping values for the first four resonant

modes are known. Impact testing of very large structures can be performed

on scaled down models with no change in results.

SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

The problem of predicting the response of a blade-like structure to

an impact by a soft body is very complex and involves many structural

interactions. To begin analyzing all the load transfer mechanisms

present in such a problem is a monumental task. One must initially take

a more basic approach. The objective of this study is to determine how

a simple cantilever beam responds to an impact on its centerline by a

soft object. If the overall bending strain at various spanwise locations

in a beam can be recorded throughout an impact, the gross loading

mechanism can be studied and an analytical model can be developed to

predict the response.

To accomplish this objective, four geometrically similar beams were

fabricated and instrumented with strain gages at various spanwise loca-

tions, mounted in a cantilever configuration, and impacted with geomet-

rically similar soft projectiles. Data from the strain gages was

digitally recorded during impact, stored, then analyzed to determine

maximum strain at each gage location and the modal content of each

response. Any damping effects present were noted. This provided the

dynamic response data necessary to evaluate several proposed analytical

models.

Next, analytical models based on the Euler-Bernoulli Beam Theory and

employing linear modal analysis were formulated. Two basic approaches

were used to simulate the impact loading. The first was to assume a

purely impulsive loading in which the projectile imparted an instan-

taneous initial velocity to the beam. The second treated the impact as

a forced vibration problem, which modeled the impact as a.) a step

function and b.) a half sine wave in time. Each model was defined andformulated on a computer and the resulting time responses were compared

with the test data to determine its accuracy. The following text

describes in detail the experimental work performed, the data analysis

techniques used, the different model derivations and formulations, and

finally, the results obtained from each model and a comparison with

experimental results.

SECTION II

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE AND RESULTS

Four cantilever beam specimens were fabricated from 7075 T-6

aluminum, approximately 91 R or 190 B hardness, the smallest beam being

5.6 inches long, 1.2 inches wide, and 0.15 inches thick. The remaining

beams were scaled from these dimensions by factors of 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5.

To ensure cantilever boundary conditions and minimize damping effects

from mounting fixtures, the root section of each specimen was left

significantly thicker than the rest of the beam, as shown in Figure 1.

For simplicity, the impact site of each beam was chosen to be at

75% span. This provided a reasonable portion on either side of thedesired impact location to ensure contact by the whole projectile.

Strain gages were mounted on each beam at the root and 75% span on the

side opposite that to be impacted. On three of the four beams, gages

were also placed at 25% and 50% span to record additional data (Figure 2).

These four locations were chosen to help identify the location of

maximum strain and to provide a sufficient amount of strain/time history

information to facilitate verification of analytical models.

The projectiles used to impact each beam were spherical bodies of

micro-balloon gelatin, a porous gelatin used to simulate bird impacts

(Reference 7). Projectile sizes and velocities were selected to meet

several criteria. The base line projectile diameter was chosen to be

0.5 inches so it would be small compared to the smallest beam length

and width. The geometric ratios used to size the beams were also used

to determine the remaining projectile diameters. This calculation

yielded projectile diameters of 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.25 inches.However, a 0.75 inch diameter mold was not available, so the projectile

sizes actually used for the impact experiments were 0.5, 0.70, 1.0, and

1.25 inches in diameter. A calculation was made for approximating

projectile velocities based on a one degree-of-freedom lumped mass

beam model (Reference 6). To assure elastic response, velocity calcula-

tions were based on 0.25% strain at the beam root, which predicted aprojectile velocity of about 570 fps. These calculations are detailed

in Appendix A. To account for the gross model used, the velocity

prediction was decreased to 400 fps. An attempt was made to maintain

this projectile velocity for each beam specimen so the concept of

scaling impact specimens could be investigated.

Two different devices were used to record transient strain data.

A Hewlett-Packard 5451B Fast Fourier Analyzer (FFT) capable of

digitizing and storing four channels of data at 20 KHZ was employed to

provide a record of transient response data which could be analyzed at

a later time. A Zonics AE 102-2 transient recorder capable of digitizing

eight channels of data from 2 KHZ to 200 KHZ was utilized to investigate

short time and long time responses. Strain data recorded by the FFT unit

was stored on a magnetic disk, while the transient recorder data was

stored temporarily in the recorder and then input to an oscilloscope and

photographed.

For testing, each beam was mounted in a steel fixture as shown in

Figure 3. The entire assembly was then placed inside a steel enclosure

on the impact range, positioned with a laser aiming device and then

secured to the enclosure.

Projectiles were first weighed and the weight recorded, and then

launched from a smooth-bore tube, propelled by compressed air, compressed

helium, or burning gunpowder. Each projectile was carried down the

tube in a sabot, a plastic bore fitting carrier, which protected it

from the launch tube walls. Several inches in front of the target a

constriction in the barrel stopped the sabot, allowing the projectile

to continue. Before striking the beam, the projectile tripped a pair of

laser light sources connected to a time interval counter to measure its

velocity.

Several shots were made at each beam to "zero in" on the amount of

pressure/powder necessary to attain the desired velocity. Impacts on

the first beam indicated that a velocity between 300 and 350 fps was

adequate to produce the desired strain at the specimen root. Thus,

those values became bounds on the desired velocity for all remaining tests.

Figures 4A through 4D are strain/time responses from each beam root

location. Variations in peak strain values due to differing projectile

velocities and densities can be seen. The data indicates, however, that

linear scaling of all beam and projectile dimensions will produce equal

strains. Appendix B is a dimensional analysis that supports this

observation. Responses from the impact site (75% span) on each beam

are shown in Figures 5A through 5C. The same observations made of the

root strain data can also be made of these traces. In addition, very

little damping effect can be observed in either set of data, except at

high frequency. Figures 6A through 6D are the strain responses from each

gage location on the 14.0 inch beam. These traces indicate that the

maximum strain experienced during impact occurs at the beam root.

Figures 7A through 7D show the response of the 14.0 inch beam over 0.5

milliseconds as being slow and containing no high frequency components.

Figures 8A through 8D are the responses of the same locations over 500

milliseconds, demonstrating damping in the system affecting only long-

term response. All the strain traces indicate the presence of several

frequency components. However, it should be noted that the sampling rate

used to record this data was too slow to pick up frequencies above the

first or second mode. Figures 9A through 9D are Digital Fourier Trans-

forms of root strain responses from each beam, showing the presence of

the first four beam bending modes. Similar plots for the 75% span

location, Figures lOA through 10C show the same result with a small

contribution from the fifth mode. Table 1 summarizes the maximum strain

values from all experimental records.

An overview of the test results leads to several conclusions. The

maximum stress over the entire impact event occurs at the beam root.

For the same projectile velocity and density, linearly scaled beams and

projectiles will produce the same impact strain values. The strain

response at any location in the beam has significant contribution from

only the first five resonant bending modes. Damping in the system has

little effect on the peak strain value but does become apparent in long

time response. These results provided the basis for evaluating several

analytical models.

SECTION III

THEORETICAL SOLUTION

Two basic approaches were taken to modeling the soft-body impact

problem. The first entailed treating the projectile as imparting an

initial velocity to the beam at the point of impact. This approach was

suggested in Reference 9 and applied to a hard-body impact problem in

Reference 8. The second approach was to treat the beam response to

impact as a forced vibration, as in Reference 4. The forcing function

was modeled as both a square wave and a half-sine wave. In both

formulations, the common assumption made was that all the projectile

momentum is transferred to the beam, i.e., linear momentum is conserved

and the projectile assumes a velocity of zero after impact. This

assumption, which is supported in Reference 7 and by experimental

observation, implies that the coefficient of restitution is close to

zero, but unknown. Both formulations are based on linear modal theory

and employ the Euler-Bernoulli beam relationships. Timoshenko beam

effects (i.e., shear and rotary inertia) were investigated and found to

be negligible (Appendix C).

The solution for free vibration of a beam developed in Reference 5

was used to determine the resonant frequencies and mode shapes of a

cantilever. The general beam mode shape (as a function of space

coordinate only) is given by:

y(x) = A sinh(Px) + B cosh(ax) + C sin(ax) + D cos(fx) (1)

where 8 is dependent upon the applied boundary conditions. For a

cantilever:

y-O

at x - 0dy/dx = 0

M - 0 or d2y/dx2 = 0at x t

V - 0 or d3 y/dx3 - 0

20

AFML-TR-79-4169

Substitution of these boundary conditions into Equation 1 yields:

cosh(OZ)cos(B) + 1 - 0 (2)

which is the solution for ab for the various resonant modes. The mode

shape expression can also be rewritten, as a result of applying the

boundary conditions, as:

y(x) = A {cosh(Bx) - cos(Bx) - K [sinh(ax) - sin(x)]} (3)

where k = sinh(OZ) - sin(sk)/cosh(at) + cos(8L). For simplicity,

Equation 3 will be written as:

y(x) = A O(x)

defining

O(x) = cosh(8x) - cos(Sx) - K [sinh(ax) - sin(Bx)] (3a)

Employing linear modal theory, the total response of the beam, including

time variation, can be formulated as:

N = I ANON(X)N(t)

with ON(X) corresponding to a solution of Equation 3a for a particular

value of 8, determined from Equation 2. TN(t) is a time varying function

of the resonant frequency for each mode, wN, calculated from

/2N El/pA (5)

Assuming a sinusoidal time response,

TN(t) = C1 sin(OBt) + C2 cos("Nt) (6)

CI and C2 are determined by evaluating the initial conditions of the

problem. At this point, each approach to analyzing the soft body impact

must be treated separately.

1. INITIAL VELOCITY SOLUTION

The first approach taken was to assume the projectile imparts an

initial velocity to the beam, as shown pictorially in Figure llA. The

velocity can be expressed as:

V - V6(x - L) (7)

B) Initial Velocity Over an Area

Figure 11. Schematic of Initial Velocity Models

22

AFML-TR-79-4169

At time t = 0, the initial conditions are:

y(x, 0) - 0

'(x, 0) - VS(x - L)

Application of the I.C.s yields C2 = 0 and

V (x - L) - N 1 A,%ON(X) (8)

Multiplying both sides by a particular mode shape, OM(x), applying

orthogonality conditions and integrating over the length of the beam

results in:

I - It 20OV6(x - L)OM(x)dx - AH 0A4(x)dx (9)

The left hand side of Equation 9 reduces to VOM(L), while the integral

on the right hand side, when evaluated, equals k (Reference 10).

Therefore,

V = AwtOIL

which leads to the solution for AN9

AN = Al(l/WN)[ON(L)/Ol(L)I (10)

A1 must now be solved for to determine the complete solution. The rela-

tionship remaining is conservation of momentum. Applying this principle

as previously described, the projectile momentum is equated to the net

momentum of the beam. Thus,

M O t)dxp p OPRB BCI,

M V Itp pO (BAB N 1 ANN co(Nt) 0 x)dx

Evaluating the integral and substituting Equation 10 for AN, we have

H p p 2pBAB N 1 (AltoION(L)/ 100N(L)]KNcOs(wNt)

23

AFML-TR-79-4169

where KN is defined in Equation 3a. This relationship exists only at

t = 0, therefore,

p p Bi1l 1 N I'Nlpp 2 MBAL) I/ () ' 1N L ) N B

Defining Cs = N 1 20N(L)N/aNk and solving for A ,

A I, M pV P l1(L) /MBICS

Thus, one can solve for AN by substituting into Equation 10.

AN = MPVP N(L)/B NCs (11)

The beam response to impact can now be written as:

y(x, t) = MpVp/M 3 Cs N r l[N(L)/WN]IN(X)COS(WN) (12)

This solution can be further modified to simulate the projectile

impact by spreading the initial velocity out from a point to an area,

shown in Figure lB. Equation 7 is rewritten as:

V -V {U[x - (L - Dp/2)1 - U(x - (L + Dp/2)1} (13)

which spreads the impact over an area as wide as the projectile and

euqally distributes it on either side of the impact span. The left hand

side of Equation 9 now becomes:

CV{UT[x - (L - D /2)] - U[x - (L + Dp/2)))H(x)dx

which reduces to:

1 + D /2VI P (x)dx

L - Dp/2P

Following through the solution, the final expression for the beam

response becomes:

p p M BS N 1 lN/ ] O(x)cOs(Nt) (14)

24

AFML-TR-79-4169

where

L + D p/2l - D2 $x)dx (15)

and

C's - N 121NO'N/Nt (16)

Both solutions, for impact at a point and over an area, were programmed

on the computer to be evaluated against test data.

2. FORCED VIBRATION

The second approach taken was to treat the impact as a forced

vibration problem for the duration of projectile contact, shown in

Figure 12A. The solution to such a problem is in two parts, the

homogeneous (free vibration) solution and the particular (forced vibration)

solution. The homogeneous solution is that given in Equation 4. The

particular solution is developed below.

First, the forcing function was assumed to be a constant force at

a point acting over a finite time period. In other words,

F(x, t) = F(x - L)[Ut) - U(t - T0 )] (17)

The time interval, To, over which the force acts is determined in

Reference 7 to be the time necessary for the projectile to traverse its

diameter, orT= D/Vp

The beam mode shape meets all special requirements of the differential

equation, independent of time. Therefore, the assumed particular

solution is:

y1(x, t) N = O(x)TN(t)

B) Forced Vibration Over An Area

Figure 12. schematic of Forced Vibration Models

26

AFML-TR-79-4169

Substituting this into the beam equation, we have

N 1 NON(X)TN(t) - PBAB-IN NNCx)TN(t)

F6 (x - L)[U(t) - U(t - T0)]/EIt

Applying orthogonality, as before, this expression reduces to,

B3MLTM(t) - (PBABt/EI)T%(t) = (FM(L)/EI)[U(t) -

(18)U(t - To )]

For all time except between t = 0 and t = T., the right hand side of

Equation 18 is zero, thus TM(t) is zero for the same time. For

0 < t < T0 , the right hand side of Equation 18 is a constant, therefore,

TM(t) is a constant and the equation reduces to

OMtCM - FOM(L)/Et.

which further reduces to an expression for CM,

CM - FOM(L)/PBAB M (19)

This is the particular solution to the differential equation which, when

combined with the homogeneous solution, leads to the total solution to

the forced vibration problem,

Y t). - N 7 1 ANsin(yc) + BcOCs(N) + CNJON(x) (20)

Evaluating the initial conditions, y(x, 0) w (x, 0) = 0, leads to

YT(X, t) - E 1 lCN[1 - cos(wNt)]4N(x) (21)

This solution is valid for 0 < t < T0, at which time the force is removed

and the problem becomes free vibration with deflection and velocity initial

conditions from the forced response. Evaluating and applying these initial

conditions results in two equations and two unknowns which provides ex-

pressions for AN and B.. The solution for t > TD is then,

27

AFML-TR-79-4169

Yl(X. t) N sin(uN o)sin(Nt) -[1 - cos(wNTo)l

cos(w t) $NY(x) (22)

The only unknown at this point is F, which can be determined from the

conservation of linear momentum assumption. Projectile and beam

momentum are formulated in the same manner as in the initial velocity

analysis, with the additional requirement that the transfer is complete

at time TO. From this, T is determined to be

T= M V Z/CF

where

where F =N l2(L)KNlwN 1tOsi(ANTO)

Hence, CN is

p p N(L)/ B NCS

The forced vibration solution becomes

yT(x, 0) - (M V , F 0(10ON(L)/wN2 MI - cos(W N 0)0N(x)(24)

for 0 < t < T0

and the free vibration solution becomes

1 Xt /M B ~ F 0(4(L)/ 2 ){sin(w T )sin~w 0) -YFxt ( /MBC) N

(25)

[1 - cos(LNTO)]COS(WNt)}ON(X) for t > To

This solution can also be modified, as was the initial velocity

solution, to spread the force over an area as wide as the projectile,

as shown in Figure 12B. The analysis procedure is the same as before

and results in the same solutions as Equations 24 and 25 with two

28

AFML-TR-79-4169

substitutions. 4N(L) is replaced by 1(L) = L + Dp/2 N and CsFiN L - D/2 ON s

replaced by C F N (204(L)KN/N NZ)sinwNT .

A second set of solutions can be obtained by assuming the forcing

function to be a half-sine wave, as opposed to a square wave, acting

over the impact duration. This assumption makes the force take the form,

also shown schematically in Figure 12A,

F(x, t) = F6(x - L)sin(ft/To)0Ut) - U(t - T0)]

and Equation 18 becomes

0ATM(t) - (PBAB /EI)TM(t) [F@(L)/EIt]sin(t/To) (26)

Letting TM(t) = RMsin(irt/To), differentiating, and substituting into

Equation 26 results in the equation

E1 M+ (IT 2 / )M= O(1)I

which, when reduced and solved for RM, yields

RH = F0M(L) /MBCM+ 7T2 IT Oy (27)

This expression is substituted in Equation 20 and solved with initial

conditions for AN and BN to give the total forced response as

yF(x, t) = lRH[sin(irt/To) - (7r/To sN)Sin(Nt)]iN(x) (28)

As before, Equation 28 is used to develop initial conditions at t =T o

for the free vibration solution for t > T0. This solution is

yl(X t) - N = 1 /TOwN) [l + coswN (Y)-

(29)sin(wNTO) cos(UNt) ]N(x)

29

R .1.

AFML-TR-79-4169

The conservation of momentum yields

= (M DpZ/ Cs)

where

CS=N E % L[ + cos~wNToY1/s t(W N + It /T 0)

Thus, RN is given as

= .P pN (u.s B( +N 02T (30)

which, in turn, results in the total response for 0 < t < T0 being

YF(x, t) = (MpD/MB N 2 + 2T2 )isin(t/TP p N+1 (31)(7r/TowN) sin(yN)] N)

and the response for t > T0 being

YF(x, 0. - (M' P /KBCS)N 1 lN(L)IN(wN + 0~

(1 + cos(wNTO)]sin(Nt) - sin(wNTO)cos(wNt) }4N(x)

A solution for the half-sine wave spread over an area as depicted in

Figure 12B can be obtained by making the substitution ofL +0D/2L- DI2¢N() d for N(L) in the appropriate places in Equations 31 and 32.

All the aforementioned solutions for forced vibration at a point

(Equations 24, 25, 31, 32) and also those for forced vibration over an

area were converted to computer programs for evaluation against test

data.

AFML-TR-79-4169

SECTION IV

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS AND RESULTS

Each theoretical solution derived was programed for analysis on

the digital computer. The program was written for use at an interactive

graphics terminal so that several parameters in any particular problem

could be easily varied and results compared. The required input included

beam parameters (dimensions, material properties), projectile parameters

(diameter, density, velocity), the number of modes to be used in the

summation, and the time period over which to make strain calculations.

Damping effects could be included, at the user's option. When included,

damping was modeled by decaying exponential functions applied to each

mode. The values of included in the program were based on actual

damping measurements taken from each test specimen.

Initially, numerical difficulty was encountered evaluating sinh and

cosh functions for large values of . The problem arose in calculating

K in Equation 3a and stemed from taking small differences of large

numbers. As R increased, so did the values of sinh and cosh until the

accuracy of the computer was exceeded. The problem was solved by

expressing hyperbolic functions in the mode shape equation as exponentials.

A complete derivation of the expressions used to calculate O(x) is included

in Appendix D. Once the exponential equations were included, all numerical

problems were corrected and accurate solutions were obtained from the

program, which are listed in Appendix E.

Results calculated and included in the output were the maximum

absolute value of strain calculated over the specified time period, the

time at which it occurred, the resonant frequency of each mode used in

the summation, and, if desired, a plot of strain versus time. Figure 13

is an example of the program input and output and Figure 14 exemplifies

the type of strain/time plot generated. The program was used to calculate

theoretical impact responses for comparison with each other and with

experimental results.

Table 2 contains values of maximum strain calculated by each model

at the root of a particular beam. The number of modes used in each

model was varied to determine how many were necessary for the strain

value to stabilize. It is apparent that the point initial velocity

solution does not stabilize, i.e., the more modes included in the

solution, the higher the calculated value of strain. Spreading the

initial velocity over an area decreased the rate at which strain

increased, but did not stabilize the solution. Both forced vibration

models which treat the force as a square wave stabilize at five modes,

with addition of more changing the max strain value less than 4%. The

half-sine wave models also stabilize at five modes with less than 2%

variation in the max strain value thereafter. Table 3 shows the effect

of damping on the maximum strain values. The values calculated by the

point and area initial condition models decrease by 24% and 19%,

respectively. Values of strain from both square wave forced vibration

models decreased 2% while the half-sine wave models predicted strain

6% lower than those with no damping.

These results lead to two conclusions concerning the theoretical

models. First, the initial velocity solutions, although shown in

Reference 3 to simulate hard-body impacts, do not provide reasonable

simulations of the soft-body problem. The non-converging strain values

calculated by both are not realistic. For this reason, these models

will not be considered in test data comparisons. Second, all forced

vibration solutions appear to provide reasonable results and should

be further evaluated and compared to test data to verify the validity

of each.

SECTION V

COMPARISON OF EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL RESULTS

Table 4 shows the maximum root strain from one of each size test

beam and the predicted values from each forced vibration model. The

percentage differences between the predicted and experimental valuesindicate that forced vibration with a half-sine wave force over an

area provides the best correlation without damping effects included,

although the half-sine wave force at a point is only slightly different.

Predicted results for the 5.6 inch beam are significantly higher than

the experimental ones due to damping effects in the third and fourth

modes which were not accounted for in the analytical predictions. If

some reasonable values of damping are included in the predictions, the

percent error is decreased to that shown in Table 5.

The results in Table 2 indicate that in all the forced vibration

models, the entire response can be simulated using only the first fourmodes. This agrees with the Fourier transform plots in Figure 9.Predictions of strain from the same models show that this is also true

at 75% span, which agrees with Figure 10.

The differences between predictions applying the force at a point

and over an area are less than 2%. This difference is small enough

that results from either model are acceptable.

Figures 15A and 15B are plots of predicted strain response from

both the step function and half-sine wave models at the 5.6 inch beam

root. These can be compared to Figure 4A. Both models predict the

same basic response shape as that determined from experiments over the

50 millisecond interval.

Comparison of Figures 16A and 17A to the experimental short time

response in Figure 6A shows that the step function model predicts beam

response more accurately than the half sine wave model does. Further

comparison of Figures 16B through 16D to Figures 6B through 6D recon-

firms the step function model accuracy. For final verification, Figures

18A through 18D can be compared to Figures 7A through 70, which firmly

verifies this model.

37

AFML-TR-79-4169

Investigation of the half-sine wave model shows that it predicts the

same basic response shape as the experiments, but the higher frequency

(3rd and 4th) modes are apparently not accounted for correctly. Response

plots from this model are shown in Figures 17A through 17D for comparison

with Figures 6A through 6D.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION

The experimental data provided an excellent base from which to

evaluate theoretical models. Both the FFT system and the high speed

transient recorder proved to be very valuable tools for studying the

impact problem. Fourier transforms of test data made it immediately

apparent that the initial velocity solutions were not adequate models.Also, the very short-time response plots from the transient recorder

dispelled any questions of high frequency bending waves causing

responses the FFT system could not record.

Both the strain values and graphic displays of beam response data

allowed complete verification of the step function forced vibration

model. Correlation between actual data plots and the predicted

response was surprising and proved to be the discerning factor

between the step function and half-sine wave formulations. The only

question that might arise would be why the half-sine wave model more

closely predicts maximum strain. The answer to this may be in the damp-

ing present in the beam/fixture system. Accurate modal damping values

could not be obtained while the beams were mounted on the impact range;

thus, any values employed in the models were approximate. Conceivably,

if the actual values for each mode could be modeled into the computer

simulation, values of strain predicted would be much closer to experi-

mental values. Additional damping could also enter the system through

the projectile/beam interface. Plastic flow and many other undefined

phenomena taking place in the projectile during impact could causesmall reductions in beam response.

The beams tested were specifically chosen to approximate the

stiffness of typical jet engine fan blades. Timoshenko effects were

negligible in this base because high order modes did not lend any

significant contributions to beam response. For beams of different

geometric properties where A/t (modal wave length/beam thickness) reaches

ten in the first several modes, the impact problem requires Timoshenko

beam theory to account for shear and rotary inertia. However, as long

46

AFML-TR-79-4169

as X/t is greater than ten, an Euler-Bernoulli beam theory formulation,

which models soft-body impact as a forced vibration, treats the impact

as a step function force in time and assumes a complete momentum transfer

from projectile to beam will provide a good solution for elastic beam

response. The accuracy of results from such a model is good for short-

time response and can be improved for long-time response by addition of

damping effects. Future work in this area can build upon this basis and

the fact that linearly scaled beams and projectiles will produce equal

strains. This means that the response of very large beam-like structures

to soft-body impacts can be determined from analysis or testing of

scaled-down models and the results will not require scaling.

APPENDIX A - ESTIMATION OF PROJECTILE VELOCITY

According to Reference 6, the stress at the beam root is

aoot KAXh/2I0

where

X E Impact Location

h B Beam Thickness

10 = Minimum Area Moment of Inertia

The values of X, h, and 10 are determined directly from the particular

beam geometry. K is the equivalent beam stiffness determined from

Figure 5, Reference 6 as a function of impact site. A is the effective

first mode amplitude at the impact site. For a strain of 0.25%, root

is 25,000 psi which gives A as

A = (50,O00)10 /XMh

For the 8.4 inch beam,

A = (50,000) (0.0017086)/(6.3) (202) (.225) = 0.299 in.

Assuming simusoidal motion,V = Aw

where w is the effective first mode frequency, determined from

W - KH

M is obtained from Figure 6, Reference 6. Thus, we have

w - 202 x 386/.227 - 586 HZ

Thus, the velocity isV - Aw - 175 in/s

Assuming complete momentum transfer from the projectile to the beam,

the projectile velocity can be approximated by

VPWVBM/M

Vp - p

V 4

AFML-TR-79-41 69

The projectile material density Is typically 0.033 ibm/in, and thediameter for this case is 0.7 inches, therefore,

V = (175) x (0.227)/C0.00584) =6800 in/s

or V = 570 f/s

APPENDIX B - STRAIN IN LINEARLY SCALED BEAMS

The elementary formula for bending strain in a beam is:

E = Mc/IE M Bending Moment

c = Distance from NeutralBending Axis

I E Moment of Inertia ofBeam Cross-Section

Er Young's Modulus

For two linearly scaled beams,

, =wt3/12 12 = (K)w(K3)t 3/12 =K411

andc2 f Kc1

Therefore,C 1 =f Ml1ClI/Il

and 2 M2KcI/K 4I1 E = (1/K3)M2c/1 1E

The bending moment, M, is created by a force that is proportional to the

momentum of the projectile.

AFML-TR-79-4169

For linearly scaled projectiles and equal projectile velocities,

p =i DA/8 and ap2 K3 prD3/8 - K3m

TO D /V and T0 = K(DI/Vp ) = KT0

0 1 P0 2 1 01

Therefore,

F1 P pVp/T01 and F2 = K3mplVp/KT0 1 = K 2 F1

The moment arm in each case, L, is also linearly scaled so that the

bending moments are

M 1 F1 x L1 and M2 = K2FIKL 1 = K3 l

The bending strain is now

1 = MICI/IIE and £2 = (1/K3)(K3M1C1 /11E) =

MIC1 /I 1E

This shows that if the force created is proportional to the projectile

momentum, equal strains will be created in linearly scaled beams impacted

by linearly scaled projectiles (which is in agreement with experimental

results observea).

APPENDIX C - EVALUATION OF TIMOSHENKO BEAM THEORY EFFECTS

When modes of vibration are considered in an analysis, the Euler-

Bernoulli Beam Theory provides adequate eigenvalue predictions up to

a certain point. When the effective wavelength of a particular mode

is of the order of ten times the thickness of the beam being considered,

shear effects start to become significant and the Timoshenko Theory is

necessary to make adequate elgenvalue calculations. Figure C-1 is a plot

of effective wavelength to thickness ratio versus mode number for a

cantilever beam. This indicates that for the beams used in the impact

experiments, shear effects will be negligible until the twentieth mode

of the smallest beam. The lowest curve on Figure 16 represents a beam

of thickness equal to one-fourth its length. Analysis of this class of

geometries should employ the Timoshenko Theory to predict impact response

accurately. Since only the first four or five modes were apparent in

test data and the same number were necessary in theoretical predictions,

the Euler-Bernoulli Theory is adequate to model the soft-body impact

probiem as considered in this analysis.

#N(x) - cosh( NX) - cos(N x) - f[sinh(Ot) - sin(O 1t)]/II[cosh(Bot) + cos(BNL)1](sinh(.,,x) - sin(8x) ]

To evaluate this expression on a computer, the hyperbolic functions

must be expressed as exponentials. This leads to

#,(x) - (1/2)e X(l - N) + (l1/2)e-NX(1 + KN) - cos( 8~x) +

KYslN(8x)

where

[e1 - e-Nt/2 - sin(0Nt)/[eVlt + e-13it/2) + cos(Nt)]

For %Z = 17.2787595323 (mode 6), KN = 1.000000063. For a 16 bit word,

the computer carries seven significant figures, and thus, would make

1 - K6 Identically zero. eN for mode 6 is on the order of 3 x 107 so

that (1 - K6)e86Z would have a significant contribution to sine and

cosine functions. Double precision will not change with phenomena for

higher modes, so a convergent solution must be sought. First, in the

expression for KN , let cos(ONI) = - ]/cosh(ON' ) and use the identities

relating cosh and sinh to obtain

%- 1 - (2e"BNtsin(BSt)/1 - e- 2 1N ] [ 1 + e- 2BN)( - e20N) ]

Substituting the series expansion

and letting

t' 2(e- 2 t + e- 0 t + e +60Nt .

55

z.

AFML-TR-79-4169

we have we (1 + Y) - (I1 + Y)[2e- Ntsin(N-)/1 e-28Nt ]

Now, defining

CN1 -1 = [2e-BNtsin(PNZ)/1 - e-28N]( 1 + Y) - Y

and expanding 1/1 - e in a series, we obtain

2CS . 2eONsin(N t)(1 + 3Y/2 + Y /2) - Y

This expression, along with that for y, can be substituted into the mode

shape expression, ON(x), to yield this equation

iN(x) - e(ONx - Nt)sin(SN t)(1 + 3Y/2 + Y2/2) - (Y/2)eBNx +

(1 - CNI2)e-ON x - cos(%ex) + (1 - CN)sin

This equation was programmed and values of ON(x) were compared to those

tabulated in Reference 10. The comparison showed that this form

provided a stable solution for *N(x) for the first 20 modes.
