Development of Constitutive Equation for Infinite Body of Impact Problem

Article Preview

Abstract:

A constitutive equation was developed for an infinite body in plane wave impact problem, and implemented using the finite element software ABAQUS user subroutine. Bilinear material behavior under monotonically increasing loading was considered for the constitutive equation. The finite element governed by this type of material behavior can be used as an infinite body transmitting longitudinal and shear plane waves, so that the number of finite elements can be reduced in impact simulations. To test the developed method, results of a plate impact experiment were examined. The numerical results show the accuracy of the developed constitutive equation.
