Abstract Material heterogeneity plays an important role in the blasting induced rock fracture. However, the investigation of the effects of material heterogeneity is limited by the numerical methods for dynamic fracture. In the work, we propose a peridynamic model for brittle rock with heterogeneous micro-modulus and critical stretch to investigate the effects of material heterogeneity on the blast-induced rock crack initiation and propagation. The discretization in polar coordinates is introduced into the proposed model to avoid the fallacious directional guidance to the crack initiation around the hole. The proposed model satisfies the More >

Abstract Peridynamics (PD) is a powerful method to simulate the discontinuous problems in civil engineering. However, it may take a lot of effort to implement the material constitutive models into PD program for solving a broad range of problems. OpenSees is an open source software which includes a versatile material library and has been widely used by researchers and engineers in civil engineering. In this context, the paper presents a simple but effective approach to integrate PD with OpenSees by using a Client-Server (CS) software integration technique, such that the existing material constitutive models in OpenSees can be directly used by… More >
