Mesh Size Influence of the Concrete Slab FE Model Exposed to Impact Load for Various Material Models

Peer-reviewed article not indexed in WoS or Scopus

Numerical approach using the FEM has been used to model the behaviour of the reinforced concrete specimen subjected to the pressure blast wave. The concrete structure is a slab freely supported around the perimeter by a steel plate and a concrete base. A simplified 3D blast model has been used, which involves the pure Lagrangian approach of FEM. The analyses have been conducted using explicit solver. 3 different non-linear material models of concrete have been used to capture the concrete behaviour: CSCM (Continuous surface cap model), Schwer Murray continuous surface cap model, and JHC (Johnson-Holmquist-Cook) material model. Influences of various mesh sizes on the final results (crack patterns, vertical deflection, strain-time dependence) are being monitored, compared with physical experiment data and discussed.
