Nanoindentation Simulation of Blast Resistant Cement
• DTRA blast resistant concrete investigation (UNM Dept. of Civil Engineering)
• How well does a nanoindentation simulation reproduce experimental data for blast resistant cement?– Force vs. displacement response– Indenter impression
• Material modeling of blast resistant concrete at micro-scale– Isotropic material to begin – elastic-plastic constitutive model– Possibly inhomogeneous material (fibers, other particles, etc. )
• Simulation method it the material point method (MPM)

Work Breakdown• Perform a benchmark problem with MPM (Hertzian contact
mechanics)
• Constitutive modeling– Elastic-plastic constitutive model
• Contact algorithm at indenter interface– compression only, friction at interface – decohesion
• 3D MPM Birkovitch Indentation Simulation– Parallel MPM implementation necessary (use of HPC)

Benchmark MPM Indentation Simulation• Hertzian contact of a rigid spherical indenter contacting a
isotropic elastic material
• Reproduce theoretical force vs. displacement response
• MPM Implementation (references 1-3)– Explicit MPM– Momentum formulation– Plane axisymmetric formulation– Isotropic linear elasticity– Natural no-slip contact between material points

Conclusions, current, and Future work• Conclusions
– MPM reproduces analytical force vs. displacement results (Hertzian contact mechanics)
– Highly resolved spatial mesh is necessary at indenter-material interface
• Constitutive model for axisymmetric analysis (current work)– plasticity– Decohesion (initiation of cracking)
• Contact algorithm at interface (current work)– compression only, friction at interface, decohesion
• 3D MPM Indentation Simulation (summer / fall 08)– Parallel MPM implementation – Incorporate locally resolved mesh generator
