Description
Research seeks to correct the limitations of peridynamic theory that underestimates failure strains in ductile materials.Effort will revise and update current state of the art peridynamics models for ductile fracture expanding model to include temperature and strain rate effects while applying to the prediction of fragmentation in aluminum alloys.Peridynamics is a mesh-free theory of continuum mechanics that provides a theoretical basis to seamlessly model fracture and defects in a continuum solid without special treatment to handle discontinuities and without costly re-meshing to account for large strains and extensive damage.(Approved for Public Release 15-MDA-8482 (17 November 15))
