energy from crush deflection(indentation)
I'm trying to determine to energy absorbed by the end of a log impacting a stationary object. by conservation of energy: Ein = Elog + Eobject +Ecrush Ein =.5mv^2 Elog = .5mv^2 (assumed as zero, impact comes to a stop) Eobject = .5kx^2 (spring constant determined from force on the...- domtar83
