This paper assesses a Whipple shield impact simulation method which is both accurate and computationally efficient. The paper documents the simulation methodology and results of Whipple shield simulations at an oblique impact angle of 30 Β° . These results are compared with HVI experiments to demonst

In order to calibrate the output of hydrocode simulations of hypervelocity impacts on shielded gas-filled pressure vessels, Light Gas Gun impact experiments were performed. In a first step, tests were performed on so-called equivalent Whipple shield (EWS) configurations having basically the same set
On behalf of the European Space Agency, Centre d'Etudes de Gramat (CEG) has performed works aiming at modeling the behavior under hypervelocity impacts of an Aerospatiale ~ developed composite material called AQr0. A model including a multiphase equation of state and a porous material behavior has b
