Analytical study of the fracture of liquid- filled tanks impacted by hypervelocity particles
01 Mar 1967
Abstract
The problem of the fracture of liquid-fuel tank walls due to hypervelocity particle impact is investigated formula is used for the shock wave generated by impact in water. The numerical method of characteristics is adopted for the calculation of stress waves in the tank wall. impact kinetic energy, defined as the projectile energy above which fracture will occur, for a few wall thickness and materials are determined.
