ANALYTICAL STUDY OF DEBRIS CLOUDS FORMED BY HYPERVELOCITY IMPACTS ON THIN PLATES.

Abstract

An analytical study of hypervelocity impact of spheres upon thin targets is described. The study was based upon numerical solutions, utilizing the STEEP code, of six impact cases. (STEEP is a two-dimensional Eulerian technique, based upon a hydrodynamic-elastic-plastic model.) (Author)
