As in the subject. I have created tri mesh on my solid and it is completely irregular. Does it have any impact on later results of the analysis? Can it be repaired somehow? I attached a picture in case you would like to see it. I am working with Marc MSC

Velocity ratio is defined as the ratio of the distance moved by effort and load, in the same time interval.
It is said and known :
that in the first order of lever, velocity ratio is usually greater than 1 but could be less or equal to 1. Why do we say that? And what does it mean?

A moving car crashes with a tree. Will the impact force on the car by the tree equal to the impact force on the tree by the car?
Does Newton's third law apply here?
How does our body absorb the force from falling? And if we roll or bend our knees while landing why is the force felt by our body less?
Can somebody explain?

how would i go about calculating the peak force of an impact between two solids
i assume it has to do with the how readily the structure compresses but I am not sure what else might complicate it from there
also what if one of the objects fractures and what about granular impacts

Hi there,
I'm trying to work out how much force is produced if a climber was to fall onto a rope.

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a calculation that can be used to work out the maximum stress on an object upon impact.
Say for example an object strikes a rigid wall, how would one go about calculating the stress on that object?
