Hi Peteroz, I am following normative requirements of 5 kJ on the impact. To meet this Im using a 616.54 kg projectile with 100 mm (also a normative requirement), velocity of 4 m/s and wall thickness of 12.5 mm with material A36.
My main concern is that I expected a energy summary showning a cross point between Internal energy and kinetic energy which I was reading as impact moment (added an example below), dont know if this interpretation is mistaken.
