Concrete Material Models in LS-DYNA for Impact Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

Performance of three widely used concrete material models available in LS-DYNA is compared using experimental results of drop-weight impact on a reinforced concrete (RC) beam and high speed aircraft engine missile impact on an RC wall. An overview of these material models and typical concrete material behavior shown by these models using single element analysis are also presented. The study is useful for users who have limited experience on the selection of an appropriate material model for concrete in impact simulation of RC structures.
