K3. An Eulerian Finite Difference Program for Three-Dimensional Material Response.

Abstract

K3 is a computer code for simulation of target response to projectile impacts. It is a three-dimensional code derived from CSQII. Used to investigate impact lethality phenomena. A Lagrangian-Eulerian finite difference method is used featuring a rezoning technique with retention of void volumes. This manual provides the technical information required to understand the CSQII to K3 extension and details the inputs necessary for program execution, as well as providing example calculations.
