Abstract
Numerical simulations of high-velocity impact events are performed with large computer codes called hydrocodes, because their early use was for high pressure problems in which materials were treated as fluids. These codes can handle impulsive loadings which include shock waves with extremely high pressures and short rise times, as well as high temperatures and large deformations.
