Computational Methods for the Explosive and Impact Compaction of Powders.

Abstract

THe effects of computational cell size and slide line routines upon TROTT computer code simulations of explosive and impact powder densifications were determined. A 30 by 40 grid of quadrilateral cells was computationally adequate to describe the systems under study and the presence of a slide line did not appreciably affect the final calculated powder density. Keywords include: Powder compaction; Plate impact; Powder densification; Computer Simulation.
