The virtual calibration chamber technique, based on the discrete element method, is here
applied to study the standard penetration test (SPT). A macro-element approach is used to …

Low-velocity impacts are unavoidable during the assembly stages and service life of
aircrafts, marine and automobiles composite structures. This work aims to study the damage …

Glass is a brittle material known to possess large scatter in its fracture strength, which is
caused by the existence of microscopic surface flaws. Fracture in glass generally originates …

A steel-concrete composite (SC) panel typically consists of two steel faceplates and a plain
concrete core. This paper investigated the impact response of SC panels through drop …

The penetration to geological shield occurs in many situations at various velocities and
scales, for example, meteor-cratering, pile driving, falling of objects from high-rise building …

Understanding the mechanisms governing the interaction of high-velocity projectiles and
sand targets is important for numerous applications and industries. The high-velocity …

To explore how the cutting parameters affect the conical pick's cutting force in coal cutting
process, some simulation tests were carried with EDEM based on analysis of coal cutting …

Penetration of intruders into granular packings is well described by separately considering
the dry or wet case of granular environments in previous experiments and simulations; …

The presence of liquid bridges between particles in a wet granular media gives rise to
capillary forces at the microscopic scale that dramatically alters the material's microstructure …

In this paper, an experimental and numerical program investigating impact in the low-
velocity regime (≤ 10 m/s) on 1.5 mm thick AA6016 aluminium plates in three different heat …
