Abstract:This article presents an experimental and computational study of bird collision with a flexible plate at different impact speeds. Tests were carried out with the aid of a pneumatic gun. The bird mass in the study was about 300 g, and the speed range was 49-75 m/s. The actual mechanical properties of the plate were determined with tensile tests of flat specimen-witness. A video recording and strain gauging were performed during the strike. Some frames of high speed video recording for the highest bird’s velocit… Show more
