Abstract
A recent upgrading of a drop hammer rig was carried out and a series of calibration tests established the energy losses in the existing anvil. Both the test results and the mathematical modelling showed that significant energy losses would occur at high impact loads. An alternative anvil design considerably reduced the energy losses and improved the performance of the drop hammer rig.Keywords
