Quantifying Impact Loads for Real-World Applications

A college student studying mechanical engineering struggles to apply textbook energy equations for impacts to real-world scenarios, such as designing a phone to survive a drop or a robotic arm to withstand a hammer impact. The student seeks a simplified method to estimate impact loads and prove effectiveness before complex simulations. Existing methods seem inadequate or too complex for early calculations.
