GNOME: an earth-penetrator code
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6263335
The earth penetrator code GNOME is described, and its capabilities are illustrated by comparisons of computed results with actual field test data. GNOME uses decoupled approximate solution techniques to calculate the rigid body response of an earth penetrator. A modular structured programming method is employed, which allows a variety of pressure generating algorithms to be used without altering the basic program modules which consist of a time integrator and output routines. GNOME calculates axial and lateral loading on a cylindrical penetrator with an ogival or conical nose, but other geometrical shapes may be easily substituted for these by utilizing the modular program structure.
