A comparison of energy absorbing capabilities of paper and steel structures subjected to progressive failure under free falling objects

An inverted paper cup of 0.26 mm thickness was subjected to deformation under a freely falling steel ball at a velocity of 2.77 m/sec. The deformed features of the paper cup were measured. The dynamic loading event was simulated using piecewise linear plasticity material model in LSDYNA. Deforme...
