Abstract
A major challenge in achieving a physics-based computational capability for designing glass and ceramic armor is a damage evolution and fragment flow model that is usable in continuum codes. We describe a model that uses microfailure and fragment flow constitutive data, show how the model links to continuum models, and compare computational results with glass penetration tests.
