Analytical and Experimental Analysis of a Free Link in Contact with a Granular Medium

In this study, the experimental and the simulation results for a planar free link impacting a granular medium are analyzed. The resistance force of the granular medium on the body from the moment of the impact until the body stops is very important. Horizontal and vertical static resistance forces d...
