Impact Response Measurement of a Plastic Container Using a Spherical-body Drop-tester

Abstract

In this work, the impact test between a spherical body and a plastic container using the adapted Levitation Mass Method (LMM) is carried out for investigating the dynamic behaviors of clear plastic container on the collision of a spherical body. The precise value of time-varying parameters are investigated by using simple Doppler effect occurred between the slightly different of beat frequency and rest frequency. The five experiments are carried out with our proposed method, it is confirmed to have good reproducibility.
