Simulation of depth of penetration during ballistic impact on thick targets using a one-dimensional discrete element model
Rajesh P. Nair,C. Lakshmana Rao +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a one-dimensional discrete element model for the ballistic impact is used to determine the depth of penetration of a bullet on a thick target, where a continuum is modelled as a network of masses connected by normal springs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical Simulation of Ballistic Impact on Particulate Composite Target using Discrete Element Method: 1-D and 2-D Models
Rajesh P. Nair,C. Lakshmana Rao +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 1-dimensional Discrete Element Method (DEM) was used to simulate the impact process of a single projectile hitting a target and observing its effects in terms of deformation and fragmentation of the target.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil Structure interaction of Laterally Loaded Piles
TL;DR: In this article , the authors used PLAXIS 3D geotechnical software for the soil-pile interaction and the corresponding displacement behavior of the monopile under study, which was carried out using wave data off Gulf of Mannar, near the Tamil Nadu coast.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal analysis of natural fiber reinforced composites
Rintu Renjith,Rajesh P. Nair +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , an attempt is made to predict mechanical and thermal properties of NFRP composite from mathematical relations using Halpin-Tsai and Chamis model, and the predicted properties used to study effect of thermal variation of plate with hole.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Simulation of failure of a fixed beam subjected to impact load using quadrilateral discrete element method
Rajesh P. Nair,C. Lakshmana Rao +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Quadrilateral Discrete Element Method (QDEM) is introduced for the simulation of the separation of elements in fixed beam subjected to impact load and convergence study for the response of fixed beam is obtained using MATLAB platform.
