Preliminary Assessment of Non-Lagrangian Methods for Penetration Simulation

Lagrangian, Eulerian, and Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics formulations are applied to the simulation of a rigid fragment impacting a concrete panel. An effort is made to keep much of the computational model constant across the simulations. All three methods are shown to be appropriate for this class of ballistic impact simulation. The results and conclusions are preliminary, but the paper serves as an introduction to these alternative forms of penetration analysis.
