Factors Analysis of Debris Cloud's Shape of Hypervelocity Impact

The numerical simulations of hypervelocity impact of Al-spheres on bumper at normal are carried out using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) technique.The simulation results are compared with experimental results,and the simulated hole diameters of bumper and debris cloud are well consistent with experimental results.The effect of impact velocity,bumper thickness,projectile diameter,materials,shape of projectile,interval on produced debris cloud are further analyzed.Regarding the length and diameter as index,orthogonal design method is applied to analyze the primary and secondary relations on the debris cloud's index of the three factors,that is impact velocity,bumper thickness and projectile diameter.The results indicate that bumper thickness is the main influence factor of debris cloud's length while projectile diameter is the main influence factor of debris cloud's diameter.
