Hydrocode modeling of oblique impacts into terrestrial planets
… Recent studies of differentiated planetesimal impacts assume that planetesimal cores survive the impact intact as concentrated masses that passively settle from a zero initial velocity and undergo turbulent entrainment in a global magma ocean; under these conditions, cores greater than 10 km in …

High-Velocity Microparticle Impact for Analytical Modelling of High-Strain-Rate Mechanics and Material Behavior
… and observing high-velocity micron-scale impacts against various materials is the focus of this work. This technique, the laser-induced particle impact test (LIPIT), is capable of accelerating microparticles to supersonic velocities to achieve strain-rates up to 108 s-1. The platform also …

Enhancement of crashworthiness in car-truck collisions using damped under-ride guard and composite crush elements
… potentials are investigated under direct and oblique impacts to enhance the crashworthiness of automobiles involved in collisions with heavy freight vehicles. The under-ride guard is analytically modeled incorporating non-linearities due to asymmetric damping, stiffness, clearance spring and …
