Simulation ice breaking by using brittle damage criterion in Abaqus

In this tutorial, the Simulation ice-breaking by using brittle damage criterion in Abaqus has been investigated. The ice part is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part and the steel part as a rough body is modeled as a three-dimensional solid part. You can see a figure of the assembled parts below

The steel material with elastic-plastic behavior is used for the impactor part. The ice material adopts the Johnson-Holmquist model constitutive model, in which the damage model part adopts the cumulative damage model. The parameters of the constitutive model are used in the input file because this model can’t be used in the Abaqus CAE, and the parameters are close to the mechanical properties of freshwater ice at -15 °C. The dynamic explicit step with mass scale to hasten the simulation is implied. The surface to surface contact and general contact with contact property like friction are used to define the contacts domain. The fixed boundary condition is assigned to ice and displacement boundary with amplitude to apply the smooth load is assigned to the steel part. The mesh should be fine to observe ice damage and breaking

After the simulation, all results such as damage variables, stress, strain,…are obtainable. You can see some figures for the results below
