✦ Synopsis

Coupled particle-finite element methods have been suggested as an approach to modeling particular impact problems not well suited to simulation with conventional Eulerian, Lagrangian, or particle codes. An alternative hybrid particle-finite element technique has been developed, in which particles are used to model contact-impact and volumetric deformation while finite elements are employed to represent interparticle tension forces and elastic-plastic deviatoric deformation. The method has been implemented in a three dimensional code and applied to simulate representative hypervelocity impact problems.

## Abstract A number of coupled particle–element and hybrid particle–element methods have been developed for the simulation of hypervelocity impact problems to avoid certain disadvantages associated with the use of pure continuum‐based or pure particle‐based methods. To date these methods have empl

Simulations of three dimensional orbital debris impact problems, using a parallel hybrid particle-finite element code, show good agreement with experiment and good speedup in parallel computation. The simulations included single and multi-plate shields as well as aluminum and composite shielding mat
