Hypervelocity impact simulation using membrane particle-elements

Protecting Earth-orbiting spacecraft against micro-meteoroid/orbital debris impact damage using composite structural systems and materials: An overview

“…occurred just as readily in hypervelocity impact as in low velocity impact. This is important information for the development of numerical as well as analytical impact response models (see, e.g., Lee et al, 2008;Bohannan and Fahrenthold, 2008) that need to balance the kinetic energy of the impacting projectile with the energies associated with ensuing response phenomena, including energy lost to damage formation and growth.…”

Numerical Modeling of Ballistic Resistance of Thermoplastic Laminate Under 9 X 19 Mm Parabellum Ammunition

“…The fabric consists of fibers that can be oriented in one direction or two ones perpendicular to each other and interweaved properly. The behavior of fabric is influenced by many factors (Bohannan et al, 2008, Mazurkiewicz, et al, 2013and Peng et al, 2005, namely the folding of the yarn (crimp interchange), relative rotation of the yarn (trellising), blocking of the yarn (shear locking or cross locking, and slip (pullout). It should be emphasized that a ballistic fabric must be resistant to impact loading (Martínez-Hergueta et al, 2018 andPark et al, 2013), i.e.…”

A 3D combined particle-element method for intense impulsive loading computations involving severe distortions

“…This method was initially presented by Fahrenthold and Horban [11], and has undergone additional development by Fahrenthold and others since then [12]. This hybrid algorithm computes the compressive pressure at the nodes (particles), with the strength and tensile pressure computed in the elements.…”

“…Chuzel-Marmot et al [28] introduced a similar formulation and demonstrated it for deep penetration of concrete targets. In the aforementioned hybrid method of Fahrenthold and co-workers [11,12], the interface between the particle and element methods is essentially distributed throughout the domain, with shared dependence on the same displacement and velocity fields. A good summary and comparison of some of these coupling schemes is provided by Rabczuk et al [29].…”
