Structural response of an earth penetrator. [Structural response calculation of an earth penetrator using the HONDOV finite element code]
The structural response of an earth penetrating warhead is calculated using the HONDOV finite element code. The model simulates a Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) reverse ballistic test in which a sandstone target is propelled at the penetrator with a velocity of 1800 ft/s. The HONDOV model uses ''slide lines'' to partially decouple the interior payload and structural case in an effort to access the effect of impacting surfaces on the overall structural response.
