    Prediction of the plastic component parts durability with use of a drop test simulation
    (2011) Warzecha, Mariusz; Młyniec, Andrzej; Uhl, Tadeusz
    This paper describes the method of performance of a drop test simulation for elements made of polymeric materials. Possibilities to use material models were described and material model choices were shown. Material tests needed to obtain material model parameters were presented and the results of analysis and measurement data were shown. As an example a drop test of the housing of a car electrical box made of Polypropylene with 20% Talc filler (PPTD20), have been simulated in ABAQUS/Explicit and results have been compared with data registered by a video camera system during the real drop test of this housing.
