Calculation of Spall Damage Accumulation in Ductile Metals

  • Conference paper
Book cover High Velocity Deformation of Solids

Summary

In this article we review a theory of viscoplastic flow with spall damage accumulation, and describe its incorporation into a computer code for solving problems of propagation of plane waves of uniaxial strain. Solutions for plate-impact problems covering the range of sample thickness and impact velocity normally encountered in experimental investigations are discussed and shown to be in qualitative accord with observation. Calculated results are successfully interpreted in terms of existing spall criteria, indicating again the qualitative agreement of the new results with prior experience. These comparisons provide an indication of the range of validity of the simpler criteria.
