Abstract In this paper simulations of brittle fracture and hydroelastic problems are carried out by using a numerical approach based on the Moving Particle Simulation (MPS) method. It is a meshless method used to model both fluid and elastic solid, and all the computational domain is discretized in Lagrangian particles. A higher order accuracy gradient operator is used herein by adopting a correction matrix. Also, in order to correctly simulate the collision of the fragments, a contact detection algorithm that takes into account the presence of the solid surfaces generated by brittle fracture is proposed. In case of fluid-structure interaction, a… More >
