Journal ArticleDOI
A non-linear orthotropic hydrocode model for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene in impact simulations
Torsten R. Lässig,Long H. Nguyen,Michael May,Werner Riedel,Ulrich Heisserer,Harm Van Der Werff,Stefan Hiermaier +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed experimental characterization of quasi-static anisotropic directional strength properties as well as the shock behavior of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for the development of an advanced material model for this class of materials is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring the rate-dependent mode I fracture toughness of composites – A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared different approaches to measure the mode I fracture toughness of composites under high rates of loading and provided recommendations for measuring the fracture toughness under high-rate loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
A combined model for initiation and propagation of damage under fatigue loading for cohesive interface elements
Michael May,Stephen R. Hallett +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the simulation of damage initiation and subsequent propagation under cyclic loading is proposed, which combines phenomenological SN-curves for damage initiation with a fracture and damage mechanics approach for crack propagation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rate dependent behavior of crash-optimized adhesives – Experimental characterization, model development, and simulation
Michael May,Olaf Hesebeck,Stephan Marzi,Wolfgang Böhme,Jörg Lienhard,Sebastian Kilchert,Markus Brede,Stefan Hiermaier +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a fully rate-dependent constitutive law for cohesive interface elements considering both, the strain rate dependency of the initiation stress and the strain ratio dependency of fracture toughness.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the similarity of meshless discretizations of Peridynamics and Smooth-Particle Hydrodynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the similarity between Peridynamics and Smooth-Particle Hydrodynamics is studied, and it is shown that the discretized equations of both methods coincide if nodal integration is used.
