Abstract
The Taylor impact test is a standard benchmark problem in high speed computational mechanics. Sophisticated Euler or Lagrange methods exist to solve it while it still poses challenges to applied mathematicians. It is shown that some qualitatively acceptable results can be achieved by bringing limited changes to the standard 2 node rod finite element. While not very accurate, the resulting 1D model is attractive for educational purposes.
