“…The maximum forces obtained from simulations are 9310 N and 9620 N, respectively, and are higher than TF and AF. Assuming that the force impulse has a nonlinear behavior (Hockauf et al 2007, Rusinek et al 2008, Bektaş and Ağır 2013, Minak and Ghelli 2008, it is possible to use a shape function as bilinear, polynomial, exponential, among others. However, it is observed as described in the previous papers that a parabolic shape allows to mimic experimental result observations.…”
