For Better Calculation of the Average Cross-Sectional Area of Breakup Fragments

抄録

This paper proposes a new approach to improve the calculation of the average cross-sectional area of breakup fragments, and a new technique for modeling the area-to-mass ratio distribution resulting from the new approach. This paper applies the proposed methods to the re-analysis of fragments from micro-satellite impact tests completed in late 2005. It can be concluded that the area-to-mass ratio distribution model resulting from the proposed methods fits very well with the fragments observed in the micro-satellite impact tests.
