Abstract

Improved computational methods for hypervelocity impact problems can assist in the design of spacecraft shielding and the development of orbital debris mitigation guidelines. Recent research has extended hybrid particle-element methods, developed specifically for hypervelocity impact simulation, to address problems of particular interest in orbital debris impact research.
