Considering the gap effect and shape detail for a wire probe antenna subjected to hyper-velocity impacts

The results of numerical simulations adopting these material models were compared with hypervelocity impact tests using a two-stage light-gas gun, and examples of the impacts on a Wire Probe anTenna (WPT) wire were shown. Although only the results using the Lagragian method were discussed in the paper because of limitations of space, it has been demonstrated that the numerical analysis could effectively simulate the overall corresponding impact test results.
