Development of Discrete Cracks in Concrete Loaded by Shock Waves
The nonlinear behaviour of concrete is affected by the development of cracks. The micro cracks are the initiation for the development of the macro cracks under different loadings. This work presents a discrete crack model with a cohesive crack zone to simulate the behaviour of concrete under a high dynamic load. In consideration of the strain rate effect and the Hugoniot-curve shock waves in concrete are calculated. The simulation of the blasted concrete results in a realistic crack pattern.
