Abstract

The paper introduces a novel material model which includes the effects of dynamic strength increase of concrete. The model is based on the physical assumption of combined vis- cous effects and a retarded damage approach. Furthermore, this model is implemented in a Finite- Element-Method with implicit time integration and applied to numerical investigations of concrete bars exposed to impulse loading and wave propagation, respectively. Particular cases of direct tensile wavepropagationandfurthermorespallationofbarsduetotensilefailureareinvestigatedwithspecial respect to the dynamic tensile strength increase, dynamic failure mechanisms and crack energy.
