Quasi-static load means the load is applied so slowly that the structure deforms
also very slowly (very low strain rate) and therefore the inertia force is very
small and can be ignored. A dynamic load, on the other hand, casues a structure to
vibrate and the inertia force is big enough and must be considered.
Impact involves a load quickly applied over a short time duration.
Conventional dynamics analysis and impact analysis are different. You have to
choose the right steps/keywords in a commercial software package.
