Shock Propogation
Shock propagation, dynamic material and structural response to radiation, explosive and impact loadings
Raytheon Ktech's experienced team can evaluate, by test and analysis, the response of materials and structures to a wide range of stimuli including radiation, explosives, impacts, blasts and thermal excitations.
ANALYSIS
 |
PUFF calculation of shock propagation in multi-layer target |
We have expert capabilities in the use of finite difference and finite element hydrocodes and developed material constitutive models and failure criteria for these codes.
Our state-of-the-art programs include pre- and post-processing capabilities allowing us to efficiently transform engineering drawing into optimized mesh and to see deformed shapes, parameter contours, time histories, and to create animations.
TEST
|
