    Modeling Imperfect Interfaces in the Material Point Method using Multimaterial Methods

    J. A. Nairn1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.92, No.3, pp. 271-299, 2013, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2013.092.271

    Abstract The “multimaterial” version of the material point method (MPM) extrapolates each material to its own velocity field on a background grid. By reconciling momenta on nodes interacting with two or more materials, MPM is able to automatically handle contact without any need for special contact elements. This paper extends multimaterial MPM to automatically handle imperfect interfaces between materials as well. The approach is to evaluate displacement discontinuity on multimaterial nodes and then add internal forces and interfacial energy determined by an imperfect interface traction law. The concept is simple, but implementation required numerous corrections to More >
