Abstract:
The next generation of 3D combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM) capabilities has been developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). These include state of the art contact detection, contact interaction, LANL’s constitutive material, and fracture models all combined in a grand scale parallel computing framework called MUNROU. In this paper a full scale 3D analysis of a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experiment on granite material is modeled using the FDEM method, and compared to the experiments performed at Sandia National Laboratory.
