弹丸超高速撞击防护屏碎片云数值模拟

 低地球轨道的各类航天器易受到微流星体及空间碎片的超高速撞击。这些撞击损伤航天器飞行的关键系统，进而导致航天器发生灾难性失效。为了保证航天员的安全及航天器的正常运行，微流星体及空间碎片防护结构设计是航天器设计的一个重要问题。采用AUTODYN软件进行了弹丸超高速正撞击及斜撞击防护屏所产生碎片云的SPH法数值模拟，给出了二维及三维模拟结果；研究了防护屏厚度、弹丸形状、撞击速度以及材料模型等对碎片云的影响。模拟结果同高质量实验研究的结果进行了比较，模拟的碎片云形状和碎片云特征点的速度同实验相吻合。验证了数值模拟方法的有效性。

Numerical Simulation of Debris Cloud Produced by Hypervelocity Impact of Projectile on Bumper

All spacecraft in low orbit are subject to hypervelocity impacts by meteoroids and space debris. These impacts can damage spacecraft flight-critical systems, which can in turn lead to catastrophic failure of the spacecraft. In order to ensure the astronauts safety and spacecraft normal operation, the design of meteoroids and space debris protection configuration become an important problem of spacecraft design. The numerical simulations of debris cloud produced by projectile hypervelocity impact on bumper at normal and oblique angles have been carried out using the SPH (smoothed particle hydrodynamics) technique of AUTODYN hydro-codes in this paper. The results using two and three-dimensional simulations are given. The effect of bumper thickness, projectile shape, impact velocity and material models etc. on debris cloud has been investigated. The simulation results are compared with experimental results, and the simulated debris cloud shapes and debris cloud characteristic points velocity are consistent very well with experimental results.
