The bow impact pressure and its structural response have so far been studied mainly by drop test of three dimensional bow model. In the previous report,1) authors discussed the characteristics of maximum impact (peak) pressure obtained from drop tests under various impact conditions which ere determined by three principal parameters dictating the bow impact pressure. In this second report, the authors deal with the structural response of a rectangular plate panel in the bow model for impact pressure. Drop tests were conducted with five models and, as the magnitude of the impact pressure equivalent to the panel structural response, the " equivalent static pressure Peq" was used,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
