Contact Detonations and Impact/Penetration Problems: Demonstration of a Procedure to Establish Guidelines for Reliable and Safe Numerical Simulations

Abstract

One goal of the research initiative is to foster both the correct commercial code development and its proper use for the benefit of research and technological development. The objectives are to: define the problem of software code verification and validation, define the problem of precision testing for software code verification and validation, establish guidelines for reliable and safe numerical simulations, develop standards for numerical simulations, and define qualifications and requirements for FE/FD-Code users. These objectives may hold in general, but in order to restricted time and money we will first focus on a well defined class of problems: Contact Detonations and Impact/Penetration Problems. This is a first necessary step towards the final goal of an international standard.
