In this study we analyzed the deformation of the polymeric rod impacting on the rigid wall which is called "Taylor impact test."" We simulated three-dimensional Taylor impact test depending on the various polymeric materials using the explicit finite element method by employing DYNA3D code. In simulation, polymeric materials were modeled using viscoelastic constitutive relations with the relaxation time and shear modulus. We have carried out the numerical simulation for the transient deformation characteristics and discussed effects of the viscoelastic constants on the deformation of the polymeric rod under impact.
