Dynamics of longitudinal impact in uniform and composite rods with effects of various support conditions

A finite element formulation is developed in this paper to analyze impact-induced waves in a rod collide with a striking mass. The formulation is established based on St. Venant's contact theory. Effects of mass ratios and boundary conditions, whether fixed, free, or elastic, are investigated....
