Application of the Fractional Derivative Kelvin-Voigt Model for the Analysis of Impact Response of a Kirchhoff-Love Plate
Authors: , ,
Abstract: In the present paper, we consider the problem on a transverse impact of an elastic sphere upon an elastic Kirchhoff-Love plate in a viscoelastic medium, the viscoelastic features of which are described by the fractional derivative Kelvin-Voigt model. Within the contact domain the contact force is defined by the Hertzian contact. The functional equation for determining the contact force is derived and its approximate analytical solution is obtained.
