To investigate bar destruction by a vertical head-on galaxy encounter, the dynamical evolution after the instantaneous momentum change of the impulsive approximation of a vertical head-on galaxy encounter, and the instability of finite amplitude one-armed perturbations to barred structure, are investigated by 2-dimensional N-body simulations.

Preliminary results show that off-center vertical head-on collisions induce bar destruction but collisions in which the colliding galaxy passes through the very center of the target galaxy do not induce bar destruction.
