Numerical Simulation of SHPB Test for Concrete under Confining Pressure

Abstract:

Using the HJC dynamic constitutive model, the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) impact test with confining pressure for concrete was simulated in the software ANSYS/LS-DYNA. The confining pressure was simulated by applying constant pressure around the specimen. The triangle velocity wave, which has less diffusion, is used as loader in the simulation. The confining pressures used were 0MPa, 2MPa, 4MPa, 8MPa and 16MPa and the stress-strain curves were presented. The influence of confining pressure on the dynamic properties was analyzed by comparing the stress-strain curves of concrete under different stress states. The strain rate decreases sensitively as long as the confining pressure increases. By debugging the impact velocity, the stress-strain curves under the similar strain rate were obtained, which indicate the toughening and reinforcing effect with the increase of confining pressure.
