[PPS21-P01] Fracture process inferred from fragment shape in impact disruption
Keywords:impact, disruption, fragment shape, fracture process
The results of the previous impact experiments show that the shape of the fragments, characterized by the triaxial dimensions a, b, and c, (a ? b ? c), behaves in a very regular way (e.g., Fujiwara et al. 1989). In widely different experimental conditions, the axial ratios, b/a and c/a, have distributions peaked at about each mean value, ~ 0.7 and ~ 0.5, respectively, and flattened (i.e., small c/a) fragments are almost absence.
We find that, if the distribution of the shape parameters, (b/a, c/a), is homogeneous, and there is no fragment at c?? < k, where k is a constant (0 < k < 1; in Fujiwara et al. (1978) k was ~ 0.2), the averages of the shape parameters, (0.7, 0.5) can be realized. Then, we discuss the fracture processes to represent the homogeneous distribution in the shape parameters. The expected dominant fracture process in impact fragmentation is reported.
