What You Will Learn?

  • In this tutorial, you will learn how to simulate the low energy impact of a rigid hammer on a three-layer wood-cement-concrete panel in Abaqus, using the Concrete Damaged Plasticity model, dynamic explicit analysis, and refined meshing. You will gain skills in setting up materials, contacts, boundary conditions, and analyzing stress, strain, and damage.

About Course

This tutorial simulates the low-energy impact of a rigid hammer on a three-layer wood-cement-concrete panel in Abaqus. The panel includes a wood-cement layer on top, normal-strength concrete in the middle, and another wood-cement layer at the bottom. The hammer is modeled as a rigid shell body, and only one-quarter of the model is used due to symmetry. Wood-cement composites provide a sustainable alternative to traditional materials by combining bio-sourced fibers with cement, making them suitable for permanent formwork and reducing environmental impact in construction. The Concrete Damaged Plasticity (CDP) model is applied to both the wood-cement and concrete layers to capture their inelastic behavior under tension and compression. A dynamic explicit step is chosen for the analysis. Perfect contact is assumed between the layers, while surface-to-surface contact is defined between the hammer and panel. Symmetry boundary conditions are applied to the panel, and an initial velocity is assigned to the hammer. A fine mesh ensures accurate results. After the simulation, results including stress, strain, damage, and deformation are available.
