The theoretical and experimental researches of an impact by a point on a cylindrical shell

The problem about an impact by a material point on a cylindrical shell is considered. Local deformations are assumed to be elastic. For the dependence of elastic deformation of materials in the place of the contact of a material point and a shell from the size of force of the impact the Hertz’s law of elastic deformation is used. The analytical solution of a problem is given and the algorithm for computer calculation is constructed. The created program for calculation is described. The description of the created experimental installation for determination of parameters of oscillations of a shell after the impact is given. The installation includes a hardware-software complex based on the personal computer. On the installation a number of experiments are executed, their results and the comparison to the received theoretical data are given.
