| Abstract |
This research report considers potential loss of containment in pipework or vessels initiated by rupture or perforation due to the impact of flying debris. A missile of specified mass and velocity is assumed to impact on a target of steel, concrete or pipework. Current methods for addressing this problem were reviewed and a selection of appropriate formulae were incorporated into a missile impact model. A sample calculation is presented along with possibilities for further development. |
