On various numerical simulation techniques for perforation of concrete panel by hard projectile
Abstract
This paper presents different numerical simulations of perforation process of a concrete slab impacted by a high-speed steel projectile. Perforation is a highly dynamic event. Results are obtained by different numerical methods, including the Finite Different Method (FDM), Discrete Element Method (DEM) and one of the meshless method called “Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics” (SPH). Their merits and demerits will be illustrated and discussed. In addition, a sound constitutive model for concrete material is presented.
