.... The in-plane effects of a fillet are analyzed using the wide-beam and curved-beam theories, and the out-of-plane effects of the fillet are analyzed by modeling the whole fillet section as a slender bar with an irregular cross section. A simple shell/plate and beam element model is developed to capture...

... cantilever bar longitudinally struck at its free end by a rigid body moving at a finite velocity. First, a dynamic model using the substructure method is established. Second, the initial conditions of the system’s dynamic responses during contact-impact are derived. Finally, a numeric contact-impact...
