Abstract

Materials of space debris is becoming diversified, and the number of non-metal space debris is increasing. A light gas gun is used to launch non-metal projectiles impacting on woven stuffed shield. The damage model of shield impacted by non-metal projectiles are obtained. The effect of cyclic heating non-metal projectile on fragmentation characteristics of projectile and damage of shield are studied. Impact velocities of projectile are varied between 1.5km/s and 3.31km/s. The impact angle is 0°. Non-metal projectile is processed at the temperature range of 18∼180°C. The results indicate that the effect of heating ceramic and nylon projectiles can cause the larger center impact perforation of woven stuffed wall. The cyclic heating enhances the performance of ceramic projectile damaging shield, and weakens the performance of nylon projectile damaging shield. The perforation diameter of thin AL-plate impacted by ceramic projectile is smaller than that by AL-sphere when the diameter and impact energy of projectile are same respectively.
