Hello,

I want to calculate the force of a physical pendulum with the 1.09Kg mass which is released from 91° angle and hits an object. I have set mgh=1/2mv^2 then W=1/2mv^2  (W=F*X) where x is the circel sector the pendulum travels from 91° to 0° , the pendulum hits the object at 0°, is the formula below correct to calculate the the force that hits the object?

F=(1/2mv^2)/x ??

Best regards

Ali

Hello,

I need advice about how to model the asymmetric plastic response of POM in Abaqus?

The yield point in tension is 70mpa and 120mpa in compression. Also the elastic behaviour of the POM is very nonlinear and visco.

Please advice how to model these behaviors in Abaqus.

Best regards 

Ali
