Abstract: | Questions of the interaction between solid and elastic structures with an ideal fluid which are associated with the initial stage of the impact and penetration of bodies in the fluid were considered in [1–4]. Results are presented below of an analysis of a central impact on a solid weightless plate which is on the surface of a compressible fluid. The impact velocity is much less than the speed of sound in the medium. Computations are performed by a finite-difference Lagrange method according to a program for plane motions of a continuous medium [5] by using a volume artificial viscosity of Neumann-Richtmayer type [6].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 143–145, May–June, 1978. |
