Current approaches to scaling laws for planetary impact processes are reviewed. Only the
simplest concepts and first-order theories that are the most determined are presented …

The geotechnical centrifuge is a valuable experimental tool for studying impact and
explosion craters. Performing experiments at elevated gravity effectively allows one to …

Abstract The Cambridge Geotechnical Centrifuge routinely tests models made of up to 0· 2
m 3 of soil, at accelerations up to 125g. Self-weight effects in models and in corresponding …

Here is the second revised and updated edition of probably the most practical sourcebook
on similarity methods and modeling techniques available. Written by leading authorities who …

Existing theoretical and empirical scaling rules for cratering phenomena are commonly
based upon implicit assumptions regarding the roles of the impactor conditions and the …

Many phenomena of interest in impact cratering occur on a time and distance scale large
compared to those of the impactor. As a consequence, the details of the impactor may be of …

The increasing evidence that many or even most asteroids are rubble piles underscores the
need to understand how porous structures respond to impact. Experiments are reported in …

Impact by clusters of projectiles rather than a single projectile can result from several
processes: atmospheric breakup, tidal breakup, and ejecta from a large primary impact …

Large water waves in reservoirs, lakes, bays and oceans may be generated by landslides,
shore instabilities, snow avalanches, glacier and rock falls. For Alpine lakes impulse waves …

The asteroid Mathilde has suffered at least five giant impacts. Previous studies suggest that
Mathilde's giant craters should be surrounded by blankets of ejecta that are kilometres …
