THE THEORY OF HYPERVELOCITY IMPACT

Abstract

The three principal areas of activity, (1) Numerical solutions of problems in impact, (2) Code development for solving impact problems, and (3) Analytical work on the theory of the impact process, are reviewed, utilizing wherever possible cited papers which have been published during this past year as part of the project work. The investigations covered in these papers are described only briefly in the present status report, familiarity with or availability of the original documents being assumed. The major part of the present discussion is devoted to a status report of unfinished work on the problem of computing strength-dependent and viscous impact flows. A computer program is described for generalizing Eulerian hydrodynamic codes to include these effects and sample calculations are given.
