Abstract

Strain hardening and strain rate play an important role in dynamic deformation and failure problems such as high-velocity impact cases. In this paper, a non-ordinary state-based peridynamic model for failure and damage of concrete materials subjected to impacting condition is proposed, taking the advantages of both damage model and non-local peridynamic method. The Holmquist-Johnson-Cook (HJC) model describing the mechanical character and damage of concrete materials under large strain, high strain rate and high hydrostatic pressure was reformulated in the framework of non-ordinary state-based peridynamic theory, and the corresponding numerical approach was developed. The proposed model and numerical approach were validated through simulating typical impacting examples and comparing the results with available experimental observations and results in literature.
