Variational Principle for Penetrator Dynamics Using Bilinear Functional and Adjoint Formulation
Abstract
The solution to problems in both spatial and time domains using the finite element method can be based on the variational principle employing bilinear functional and adjoint formulation. The principle is extended to matrix vector coupling systems such as in penetration dynamics. The present hyperbolic type partial differential equation of interest has two dependent and two independent variables with the coupling in the spatial domain.
