Abstract
Some basic theories have emerged within the past 10 years for predicting the consequences of dynamic fragmentation brought about by high-velocity impact or explosive events. These theories have focused principally on the prediction of mean fragment size through energy and momentum balance principles (e.g. Grady, 1982; Kipp and Grady, 1985; Grady, 1988; Glenn and Chudnovsky, 1986) and on the statistical issues of fragment size distributions (e.g. Brown, 1989; Englman, et al., 1984; Grady and Kipp, 1985; Grady, 1990). This theoretical basis has provided the underlying framework for a number of computational algorithms employed to analyze complex fragmentation events (e.g. Johnson, et al., 1990; Melosh, et al., 1992; Smith, 1989).
