RESUMO

Impact between solid bodies is present in many areas of engineering. Relevant examples of this sort of problem can be found in machine element design, transport systems such as containers for nuclear material, pipes in chemical plants, vehicles and many others structures that should comply with safety codes issued by govern agencies. In the majority of these cases, the knowledge of the stresses due to the impact between the bodies is fundamental to avoid failures on the designed structures, to predict undesired damages, and to decrease safety factors. Therefore, in this work a design methodology for linear mechanical systems submitted to impact is proposed. It is based on the surface of maximum stress which represents different crash situations for a given elastic model. The Finite Element Method with the explicit time integration algorithm is used to solve the associated dynamic problem. Examples are presented such as a bracket and a shaft.
