"When materials interact at hypervelocity - on the order of Mach 8.5 and above - unexpected results can occur. This book addresses the effects of hypervelocity impact, summarizing past and present research efforts as well as setting out the theoretical foundation for understanding material interactions at such velocity. It focuses on research conducted at the Holloman Air Force Base High Speed Test Track (HHSTT), which is working toward a test vehicle speed above Mach 10. Researchers have found that as the sled's speed has increased to Mach 8.5, a material interaction has developed that causes "gouging" in the rails and the sled's "shoes" ... --Back cover. Includes bibliographical references and index. Hypervelocity gouging problem overview -- Previous research in the hypervelocity gouging phenomenon -- Scaled laboratory hypervelocity gouging test -- Validation of constitutive models for high strain rates in hypervelocity impact -- Simulation of HHSTT Hypervelocity gouging scenario -- Conclusions. |
