Penetration modeling of ultra‐high performance concrete using multiscale meshfree methods

Abstract: Summary Terminal ballistics of concrete is of extreme importance to the military and civil communities. Over the past few decades, ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) has been developed for various applications in the design of protective structures because UHPC has an enhanced ballistic resistance over conventional strength concrete. Developing predictive numerical models of UHPC subjected to penetration is critical in understanding the material's enhanced performance. This study employs the advanced funda… Show more

“…The HJC model’s prediction of the damaged area on the front and rear faces of the concrete target is compared to the results of the experimental data available in (Sparks et al, 2019), which are presented for a projectile impact with an initial velocity of 817 m/s, which is shown in Figure 8. The cratering sizes are determined by measuring the radius between the center of the impact site to the edge of the cratering region in eight radial directions, each 45° apart for both the experiments and simulations.…”

“…The HJC model is evaluated for high strain rate loadings through a validation procedure by comparing the parameters for the Cor-Tuf concrete to existing experimental data of ballistic impacts to Cor-Tuf concrete targets. Ballistic impact experiments of the Cor-Tuf concrete were taken from the literature (Sparks et al, 2019) which included a range of impact velocities. In this study, the Cor-Tuf concrete was shaped into cylindrical specimens with a diameter of 406.4 mm and an average target thickness of 31.75 mm.…”

“…The past decades have seen significant development in computational methods for problems in fracture mechanics, damage modeling, strain localization, and unsaturated soil mechanics. For this type of problems, the finite element method remains the preferred computational platform [35,43,52,53,62,73,75], even as a number of continuum particle methods have also emerged as viable alternatives in recent years [35,[58][59][60]62]. However, when it comes to debris flow modeling, where the motion is so chaotic that element connectivity is difficult to impose, the finite element method may not be an appropriate platform to use, since it suffers from severe mesh distortion that impacts on its accuracy and overall performance.…”
