Investigating pressure magnitudes at depth for oblique impacts into layered targets: Applications to terrestrial impacts in sedimentary targets

Abstract: Abstract-The positive identification of the Rock Elm impact structure (Wisconsin, USA) and the Upheaval Dome (Utah, USA) as impact craters was complicated by a lack of distinctive shock features in the record. Low-impedance surface layers over high-impedance bedrock affect energy coupling and shock effects in the substrate; in both cases, removal of surface sediments erased most of the original impact structures, thereby making identification of the impact origin difficult. In this study, a combination of labo… Show more

“…Previous studies focused on planar polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) targets in order to track the evolution of subsurface damage following oblique impacts for both impacts directly into PMMA [Stickle and Schultz, 2011;Stickle and Schulz, 2014] and impacts into layered PMMA and geologic targets [Stickle and Schultz, 2012;Stickle and Schultz, 2013]. At planetary scales, however, target curvature creates shock-wave interactions that significantly change the damage pattern (and process).…”

“…Shear‐induced damage is examined using the Johnson‐Cook Fracture (JCF) model [ Johnson and Cook , ]. The JCF is a scalar damage model and is used to illustrate regions failing due to high deviatoric stress components within the PMMA target (this same procedure was used in, e.g., Stickle and Schultz [, , ]). In general, this failure criterion is dependent on plastic strain to fracture as a function of equivalent plastic strain, pressure, temperature, strain rate, and loading path (a more detailed description of this model can be found in Stickle and Schultz []).…”

“…Many studies of impact craters have discussed variations in morphology as dependence on the underlying layered material. Stickle and Schultz () discussed the lack of distinctive shock features at the Rock Elm impact structure (Wisconsin) as a result of low‐impedance surface layers over high‐impedance bedrock, which affects the shock effects in the substrate. This was confirmed by laboratory and computational modeling showing how a nonhomogenous target produces distinct crater morphology (Stickle and Schultz ).…”

This was confirmed by laboratory and computational modeling showing how a nonhomogenous target produces distinct crater morphology (Stickle and Schultz ). Impacts into a layered target with variation in material strength between sedimentary and crystalline layers were undertaken by Collins and Wünnemann (), investigating the formation of the Chesapeake Bay impact, who found that the distinctive features of this impact crater are due to the layered target properties.…”
