A Virtual Test Facility for Simulating Detonation-Induced Fracture of Thin Flexible Shells

چکیده
The fluid-structure interaction simulation of detonationand shock-wave-loaded fracturing thin-walled structures requires numerical methods that can cope with large deformations as well as topology changes. We present a robust level-set-based approach that integrates a Lagrangian thin shell finite element solver with fracture and fragmentation capabilities with an Eulerian Cartesian detonation solver with optional dynamic mesh adaptation. As an application example, the rupture of a thin aluminum tube due to the passage of an ethylene-oxygen detonation wave is presented.

متن کاملA Discrete Model for Inelastic Deformation of Thin Shells
We introduce a method for simulating the inelastic deformation of thin shells: we model plasticity and fracture of curved, deformable objects such as light bulbs, egg-shells and bowls. Our novel approach uses triangle meshes yet evolves fracture lines unrestricted to mesh edges. We present a novel measure of bending strain expressed in terms of surface invariants such as lengths and angles. We ...

Technically relevant fluid-structure interaction simulation of detonation-induced dynamic response of thin-walled solid structures requires an efficient detonation solver that can cope with large deformations as well as arbitrary topology changes of the computational domain. We present a parallel adaptive method that uses a scalar level set function to represent embedded evolving solid boundari...
