Topics in Computational Modeling of Shock and Wave Propagation

Abstract

This report contains reprints of four papers that focus on various aspects of shock and wave propagation in cellular, viscoelastic, microcracked, and fragmented media that appear in the Proceedings of the Conference of the American Physical Society Topical Group on Shock Compression of Condensed Matter, Baltimore, MD, 31 July 5 August 2005. The four papers are: 1) Main, J. A.; Gazonas, G. A. Impulsive Loading of Cellular Media in Sandwich Construction 2) Laverty, R.; Gazonas, G. A. Transient Stress Optimization of Elastic and Viscoelastic Composite Strips 3) Su, D.; Santare, M. J.; Gazonas, G. A. Numerical Modeling of Wave Propagation in Anisotropically Microcracked Media and 4) Raghupathy, R.; Gazonas, G. A.; Molinari, J. F.; Zhou, F. Numerical Convergence of the Cohesive Element Approach in Dynamic Fragmentation Simulations.
