Hey everybody, I'm new here. If there is a thread that can answer all of my questions, please provide me with a link. Thank you.
I'm using honeycomb aluminum impregnated with polyethaline foam (expanding foam). I'd like to do some analysis but unfortunately, I do not have a high speed camera nor an accelerometer. What I do have is a quasi-static crush machine capable of 200,000 pounds. It graphs deflection vs kips. However, how can you find average deceleration and peak deceleration from a slow crush? Also, how can you find the energy absorbed?
Thanks again.
