A Non-Ordinary State-Based Peridynamic Formulation for Failure of Concrete Subjected to Impacting Loads

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 nonlocal 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 statebased 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.

The singularity in the state-based peridynamic solution of uniaxial tension

We solve the local uniaxial tension of an infinite rod in the framework of non-ordinary state-based peridynamics.The singular solutions of stress and displacement are acquired.When the influencing range of the window function approaches zero,these two solutions will return to the solutions of the classical elasticity.The analysis shows that the singularities of the solutions stem from such a feature of the window function that must be represented by a rapidly decreasing function in physics.Contrary to the classical elasticity,the stress solution of peridynamics is smoother than the displacement solution.In addition,a criterion used to select the window function is proposed in this paper.

Bond-associated non-ordinary state-based peridynamic model for multiple spalling simulation of concrete

The non-ordinary state-based peridynamic(NOSB PD)model has the capability of incorporating existing constitutive relationships in the classical continuum mechanics.In the present work,we first develop an NOSB PD model corresponding to the Johnson–Holmquist II(JH-2)constitutive damage model,which can describe the severe damage of concrete under intense impact compression.Besides,the numerical oscillation problem of the NOSB PD caused by zero-energy mode is analyzed and hence a bond-associated non-ordinary state-based peridynamic(BA-NOSB PD)model is adopted to remove the oscillation.Then,the elastic deformation of a three-dimensional bar is analyzed to verify the capability of BA-NOSB PD in eliminating the numerical oscillation.Furthermore,concrete spalling caused by the interaction of incident compression wave and reflected tension wave is simulated.The dynamic tensile fracture process of concrete multiple spalling is accurately reproduced for several examples according to the spalling number and spalling thickness analysis,illustrating the approach can well simulate and analyze the concrete spalling discontinuities.
