Perforation of a Concrete Slab by a Missile: Finite Element Approach

摘要

A specific concrete model has been developed to investigate the problem of concrete walls perforation by a missile: three types of damage are accounted for: traction damage, shear damage, hydrostatic pressure damage. In order to investigate the validity of this concrete model in simple compressive conditions, tests are performed in following configuration: microconcrete used in perforation tests is cast in a cylindrical mould 100 mm diameter, 50 mm wall thickness made of very strong steel. The concrete height is 400 mm. A silver layer is put on the inner face to decrease the friction coefficient. The load is transmitted to the concrete by means of a metal piston. A quasi static test is first performed using a hydraulic testing machine. A second one is then impacted by a 32 kg mass dropping from 19 meters. In both cases the displacement and the forces are recorded for comparison with calculation. (ERA citation 09:028826)
