The interaction of space debris with the protective shield in the impact velocity range of 2 000–7 000 m/s is numerically simulated. The space debris particle is modeled by a steel ball. Numerical modeling is performed by the finite element method implemented in the author’s software package EFES. The proposed fracture algorithm allows describing the fragmentation of the material and the formation of new contact boundaries without distorting the computational mesh. The peculiarities of shock-wave processes and fracture of the screen and particle at different interaction velocities are investigated.
