“…Besides the FEM and the DEM, other numerical methods such as the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) [18] and the Peridynamics [19,20] have also been employed in the glass fracture analyses. The combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM) [21] is an extension of both the FEM and the DEM.…”

Due to the brittleness, monolithic glass may fracture under impact, resulting in catastrophic sequences. The combined finite-discrete element method, i.e., FDEM, is employed to investigate both the oblique and the perpendicular impact failures of monolithic glass parametrically, particularly the soda-lime glass. Using FDEM, glass is discretised into discrete elements where a finite element formulation is incorporated, leading to accurate evaluation of the contact forces and structural deformation. Following the basic theories of the FDEM, a cohesive Mode I fracture model of glass is briefly introduced. Numerical examples are given for the verification of the employed fracture model and the applicability of the FDEM, and comparisons have been made against the computational and experimental results in the literature. The investigated parameters include the impact velocity, the impact angle, the material properties of glass, etc. The obtained results not only revealed the impact fracture mechanism of soda-lime glass but also provided guidance for its design and manufacturing.

In this paper, rate-dependent cohesive zone model was established to numerical simulate the fracture process of soda-lime glass under impact loading. Soda-lime glass is widely used in architecture and automobile industry due to its transparency. To improve the accuracy of fracture simulation of soda-lime glass under impact loading, strain rate effect was taken into consideration and a rate-dependent cohesive zone model was established. Tensile-shear mixed mode fracture was also taken account. The rate-dependent cohesive zone model was implemented in the commercial finite element code ABAQUS/Explicit with the user subroutine VUMAT. The fracture behavior of a monolithic glass plate impacted by a hemispherical impactor was simulated. The simulation results demonstrated that the rate-dependent cohesive zone model is more suitable to describe the impact failure characteristics of a monolithic glass plate, compared to cohesive zone model without consideration of strain rate. Moreover, the effect of the strain rate sensitivity coefficient C, the mesh size of glass plate and the impact velocity on the fracture characteristics were studied.
