Key Points:
- We conducted several small-scale 2D numerical shock physics
simulations in iSALE and CTH into Fe-Ni targets.
- We measured material strength parameters from mechanical tests at low
and high strain-rates and relevant temperatures for Fe-Ni materials.
- The simulated craters are within 5% for Fe-Ni manufactured targets
and 15% for Gibeon meteorite cubes as compared to the experimental
sizes.
