The micro jetting from a grooved aluminum surface under impact loading is investigated by using Eulerian peridynamics (PD). The simulation results are compared with the published experimental data and the spike velocity model, exhibiting qualitative agreement. The governing mechanism accounting for the formation of micro jetting is elucidated from the perspective of the shock wave interaction with the surface groove. The PD simulation results indicate that the incident shock wave induces progressive groove collapse along the direction of shock wave propagation. The rarefaction waves reflected from the groove edges cause the variation of the velocity vector of PD material points, leading to the material points above and below the symmetric axis of the groove converging toward the symmetric axis and colliding with each other. Then, those collided material points are driven by the incident shock wave propagating along the horizontal symmetric axis and eventually ejected from the groove. The effects of the groove dimensions and the impact velocity on the spike velocity and the ejected mass are discussed. The results show that spike velocity decreases with an increasing groove angle but increases with increasing impact velocity. Furthermore, the ejected mass increases with increasing impact velocity. However, when the depth of the surface groove is fixed and the groove angle increases, the ejected mass first increases and then decreases with the turning point at similar to 120 degrees. As the depth of the surface groove increases, the ejected mass increases. The simulation results provide a mechanistic understanding of the micro jetting phenomena and instructive guidance for developing better ejecta models.
