Modeling of thin fiber deformation and destruction under dynamic load

The problem of the propagation of deformations and stresses in a thin fiber under the dynamic mechanical load is considered, as well as the destruction of the fiber. High-speed interactions are considered, for which the striker speed is comparable to the sound speed in the fiber. The numerical results are compared with an analytical solution for a point impact. Various loading modes are calculated for a distributed load, that cause significantly different types of deformation and destruction of the fiber.
