Abstract
A two-dimensional finite difference calculation of a laboratory-scale hypervelocity (6 km/sec) impact of a 0.3 g spherical 2024 aluminum projectile into a homogeneous plasticene clay halfspace has been carried out to a time of 600 μsec and the material motions during this crater growth period analyzed.
