Numerical study on the shock responses of submunition drop on various mediums

The shock responses of submunition drop on various ground-mediums are modeled and investigated by numerical simulation in this paper. Submunition impacts on concrete surface, gravel ground or sand with various drop velocities, different drop angles and attack angles are calculated in a finite element program. The loads and dynamic responses of submunition are analyzed, curves of various drop velocities, drop angles and attack angles related to peak overload are calculated and law of interaction time on different ground mediums is obtained.
