Simulation of the Impact of a Plastic Flyer on an Aluminum Block using the Hydrocode AUTODYN (Simulatie van de Inslag van een Kunststof Olie op een Aluminium Blok Met Behulp van de Hydrocode Autodyn)

Abstract

At TNO/PML a socalled Mega Ampere Pulser was built to accelerate thin plastic flyers which are subsequently impacted on different target materials. To reach a better understanding of the shape and time development of the shock pulses generated in the target material, a computer simulation of this situation was carried out, using the hydrocode Autodyn. In this report a description is given of set-up and results of the simulation as well as a evaluation of the results and an analysis of the consequences for the experiments....
