Formula and methodology
Formula: Kinetic energy = ½mv²; absorbed energy = kinetic energy × fraction; average force screen = absorbed energy ÷ stopping distance; specific absorbed energy = absorbed energy ÷ specimen area.
Impact tests often need a clear separation between incoming kinetic energy, the portion assigned to a specimen, and the distance or area used for a comparison. This bounded worksheet makes those assumptions visible without presenting a standard-method result.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Impacting mass — kg; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 100000000
- Impact speed — m/s; minimum 0; maximum 100000
- Effective stopping distance — m; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
- Specimen area — m²; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
- Energy assigned to specimen — fraction; minimum 0; maximum 1
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Impacting mass | 5 |
| Impact speed | 10 |
| Effective stopping distance | 0.01 |
| Specimen area | 0.0001 |
| Energy assigned to specimen | 0.8 |
Incoming kinetic energy is 250 J, assigned absorbed energy is 200 J, average force is 20,000 N, momentum is 50 kg·m/s, and specific absorbed energy is 2,000,000 J/m².
Assumptions and limits
- The impacting body is represented by one mass with one incoming speed.
- The absorbed-energy fraction is a supplied scenario between zero and one.
- Average force is spread over one entered effective stopping distance.
- Specific absorbed energy divides the assigned energy by the entered specimen area.
- The stopping event is not resolved into a force-time curve or a peak force.
- Fracture, rebound, fixture compliance, strain rate, temperature, material anisotropy, and standard test geometry are not modeled.
