Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a fragment cross-section analysis method based on the influence of gravity. Background Technology
[0002] In calculating the intersection of fragments and the target, traditional engineering calculation methods use the firing trajectory to determine the impact position of the fragments, generally neglecting the influence of gravity and assuming that the direction of the fragments' motion in the air is consistent with the direction of their initial velocity. When the intersection distance between the fragmentation field and the target is short, the influence of gravity on the fragment trajectory can be ignored; however, when the intersection distance is long, the influence of gravity on the fragment trajectory becomes significant. In this case, if the intersection calculation is performed using the initial velocity direction of the fragments and the target surface model, the calculated results will deviate from the actual results. For refined damage assessment, this deviation cannot be ignored. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to design a fragment cross-section analysis method based on the influence of gravity in order to solve the above problems.
[0004] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0005] Methods for fragment cross-section analysis based on the influence of gravity include:
[0006] S1. Construct a ground coordinate system;
[0007] S2. Obtain relevant information about each fragment and the target surface model in the ground coordinate system;
[0008] S3. Analyze the flight trajectory of the current fragment based on gravity and air resistance, and according to relevant information of the fragment;
[0009] S4. Discretize the current fragment's flight trajectory into multiple line segments;
[0010] S5. Analyze the intersection results between the current fragment and the target surface element;
[0011] S6. Determine if the current fragment is the last fragment. If so, output the intersection of all fragments with the target surface model. Otherwise, set the next fragment as the current fragment and return to S3.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: It considers the influence of gravity on the trajectory of fragments and introduces a filter to propose this analytical method. The actual flight trajectory of the fragments is discretized into multiple line segments. The impact point of the fragments on the target surface model is calculated by intersecting these line segments with the target surface elements. Directly solving this problem would increase the computational cost significantly compared to traditional shot trajectory methods. To reduce the calculation of invalid line segment intersections, a filter is introduced to eliminate a large number of invalid intersection calculations, retaining only a small number of possible intersections, ultimately calculating the target impact point information. This provides efficient computational support for damage assessment. Attached Figure Description

To address this issue, this analysis method considers the influence of gravity on fragment trajectory and introduces a filter.

Directly solving this method would be significantly more computationally intensive than traditional shot trajectory methods. To reduce invalid line segment intersection calculations, a filter is introduced to eliminate a large number of invalid intersection cases, retaining only a small number of possible intersection cases. This ultimately yields the target impact point information, providing efficient computational support for damage assessment.
