In this tutorial, the Simulation air blast explosion over the RC beam reinforce with Banana-Epoxy lamina in Abaqus has been investigated. The concrete beam is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part. The bar and strip are modeled as three-dimensional wire part. The Banana-Epoxy part is modeled as a three-dimensional shell with eight layers. You can see a figure of the assembled parts below
To model concrete behavior under sever compression load such as high velocity impact or blast explosion, Abaqus has several material models that they are suitable for this analysis. We can use a code to write new material model or we can use input file capability to consider new material model. To model Banana-Epoxy material, the elasticity-engineering constant type is selected. Eight conventional shell layers with different fiber orientation is used. To model bar and strip, the steel material with elastic-plastic behavior is selected. The dynamic explicit step is appropriate for this type of analysis. The steel reinforcements are considered as a embedded region inside the concrete host. The contact between concrete beam and Banana-Epoxy lamina is assumed as a perfect contact. The fixed boundary condition is assigned to the two ends of the beam. The mesh should be fine to obtain correct results
After the simulation, all results such as stress, strain, damage variable, failure, force and displacement diagram, and… are available. You can see some figures for the results below
