Modeling the Dynamic Failure of Railroad Tank Cars Using a Physically Motivated Internal State Variable Plasticity/Damage Nonlocal Model
Figure 10
Another illustration of the mitigation of mesh size effects in the FE simulations of hazmat tank car using nonlocal BCJ model. The figures show the damage pattern on the outer surface of the tank body located in the impact region for coarse (a) and fine (b) meshes at the same time. Note the similarity between the damage patterns.
