The 1998 Center for Simulation of Dynamic Response in Materials Annual Technical Report

Abstract

Introduction: This annual report describes research accomplishments for FY 98 of the Center for Simulation of Dynamic Response of Materials. The Center is constructing a virtual shock physics facility in which the full three dimensional response of a variety of target materials can be computed for a wide range of compressive, tensional, and shear loadings, including those produced by detonation of energetic materials. The goals are to facilitate computation of a variety of experiments in which strong shock and detonation waves are made to impinge on targets consisting of various combinations of materials, compute the subsequent dynamic response of the target materials, and validate these computations against experimental data.
