There are two main types of penetrometers. In the static one, a rod with a conical tip is introduced continuously and gradually (nearly statically), simultaneously registering the reaction force, which is equal to the soil resistance. The dynamic penetrometer uses the same rod. However, it is introduced through bringing about an impact mass in freefall. Thus, the theory can be treated by Newtonian dynamics so as to obtain dynamic resistance. The aim of the software is to provide a quick […]
