Presented are several a!gorlth~s that allow a Lagrang!an hydrodynamic computer code to simulate hyperveloclty impact. Such impacts typically involve very large material deformations and ordinarily can be handled only by Eulerlan codes, in which the materials flow through a stationary grid. In Lagr

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 ar
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films have been utilized as interplanetary dust detectors for many years in a variety of space environments. PVDF serves as a dust detector by producing a 'depolarization' charge upon hypervelocity impact. Previous instruments have relied on empirical calibrations to e
AbstractmA series of hypervelocity impact tests are conducted against thin-wailed aluminum pressure vessels to investigate failure mechanisms. The vessels, 0.05 and 0.08 inches thick, are constructed to replicate the material properties of the International Space Station (ISS). The vessels are press
