Abstract
The fragmentation of a bird or similar soft body, following its impact on an angled target plate, is modeled by representing the body as a combination of fragments and slurry, their relative proportions depending on the severity and angle of impact. The method is particularly suitable for modeling the behavior of a bird striking an obscuring intake of a gas turbine engine.
