โœฆ Synopsis

To determine a function of size distribution of debris behind a perforated shield, we have studied diameter distribution of craters produced on the target, which was placed behind a thin shield. The distribution parameters are established to be connected with the characteristics of impact conditions. Based on statistical representations of the material strength, we have developed the model for fragmentation of a projectile, which allows us to explain why the size distribution of debris obeys the Rosin -Rammler (or Weibull) law.

In order to protect space structure against space debris impacts, it is indispensable to develop a shield with high strength materials. A high strength fiber is one of potential materials from a viewpoint of strength, lightweight, and flexibility. The purpose of this study was to develop a new light
