HULL Modeling of Stress Wave Propagation.

Abstract

The HULL computer code developed by AFATL (Air Force Armament Laboratory) has been utilized to perform studies of conventional, nonconventional, and nuclear munitions. The phenomenology of penetrator mechanics has been studied and a model proposed. Initial groundwork for using the HULL code in ground coupling studies has been laid. Additionally, in anticipation of new computer machinery, the HULL code has been converted to run upon both IBM and CRAY computer systems. (Author)
