IMPACT FRAGMENT MODELING USING MAGI

A procedure for modeling impact fragmentation and the preliminary findings are discussed.* The procedure consists of a coupled approach between a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) based hydrocode, called MAGI, and an energy based fragmentation model for computation of sub-scale fragments.6 Other model components include fracture algorithm. fragment counter and a post processor for graphical display of debris cloud data.
