PIC FORMULATION OF VISCO-PLASTIC MODEL FOR HYPERVELOCITY IMPACT

Abstract

The visco-plastic equations governing the axisymmetric impact situation are reformulated in a form appropriate to the particle-in-cell method of calculation. A step-by-step description of the computational procedure is presented which allows for such contingencies as free boundaries, interior empty cells and the axis of symmetry.A programmer may work directly from this report.
