 COPPER ROD IMPACT (3D MODEL)
**
**  This example simulates the high velocity impact of a copper rod
**  onto a rigid wall.  Similar tests have been performed to determine
**  the material constants for high-pressure equations of state, and
**  the test is sometimes described as the Taylor bar experiment.
**  Extremely high plastic strains develop at the crushed end of the
**  rod, resulting in severe local mesh distortion.
