Dirt Impacting Cantilevered I-Beam

Here the stress and deformation induced in an I-beam are computed when the beam experiences an inelastic collision of soft material. This computation is completed using equivalent spring constant and equivalent mass estimations in a single degree-of-freedom model. The formula for equivalent mass of a cantilevered beam is derived using an equivalent energy approach. The contact force between the soft material and the beam is estimated at maximum beam deflection.
