Use an elastic model for the sphere, and an elastic-plastic-damage (with Johnson-Cook
plasticity damage) for the plate. For the elastic constants of each material use a database to
find relevant material properties for this simulation. For the Johnson Cook plasticity-damage
model for aluminum, use the following constants:

Perform a finite element simulation of the impact process for each impact angle and analyze
the following data:
a) Does rebound or penetration of the plate occur?
b) Plot velocity of the sphere before and after impact.
c) Show contour the von Mises stresses and the damage in the plate after impact.
Analyze the damage in the plate.
2. A middle-tension specimen (MT) is loaded with a stress = 5 ksi. The dimensions of the
cracked plate are b = 4 in, h = 6 in, thickness t = 0.25 in and crack half-length is a = 0.8 in. The
plate material is a steel alloy with E = 30,000 ksi and v = 0.25. Considering an elastic behavior
only for the plate and using finite element simulations of a 2D model of the plate, determine:
a) The variation of the normal stress in the vertical direction from the crack tip to the
plate edge and compare this variation with the analytical solution. Create a line plot
for the two solutions and discuss your results.
b) Determine the stress intensity factor using the analytical and FE methods and
compare your results. If the fracture toughness of the material is KIc = 3 Ksiin1/2,
determine if failure by crack extension occurs or not.
