am in need of performing low velocity impact test of samples using drop mass setup with velocity upto 15 m/s and mass of 50-100kg.plz suggest whether thz machine is available in india.
Dropping the test article from the 4th floor window into sandbox works fine. Do not try without sandbox - splinters may happen if dropped on aphalt. I remember factory making aircraft flight recorders have tested them in such manner. Of course, for quality acceptance test, not for design qualification.
there is a drop-impact machine at the Madras Institute of Technology, at the Chromepet campus. You can ask Dr. Arumugam ([email protected]). If you do contact him, please send him my regards!
