Molecular Dynamic Shock Wave Studies in Solids - Fracture and Crack Propagation.

Abstract

The earlier computer simulations of shock waves in solids was completed. An equation of state for shock waves in solids was developed and found to be an accurate description of shock wave properties. Computer simulation techniques were also used to study fracture and crack propagation in solids. The basic assumptions made in the usual continuum mechanics calculations were examined and found to be at best approximate. Some interesting results were found for rapidly applied stresses. (Author)
