Modelling of the destruction of polymers under high energy impact

A technique is developed for coupled modelling the destruction of polymers under high energy impact. The simulation of the polymeric materials destruction is used for study of their behavior during energy impact, for verification of volume fracture models for brittle materials, and for validation of wide-range equations of state. The destruction may be a result of an impact of intensive energy flows or mechanical strike. Appropriate modeling is a complex multiphysics problem, requiring high resolution numerical methods and high performance computing.
