We present the peridynamic dynamic fracture analysis to solve impact fracturing of multilayered glass impacted by a high-velocity object. In the most practical multilayered glass structures, main layers are glued by thin elastic masking films. Thus, it is difficult and expensive to construct the numerical model for such a multilayered structure. In this paper, we employ efficient numerical modeling of multilayered structures with a nonlocal ghost interlayer model in which ghost particles are distributed between main layers and they are interacting with each other in peridynamic way. We also consider a simple nonlocal contact condition in peridynamic frameworks to solve impact and penetration of the high-velocity impactor to the multilayered structure. Finally we can confirm the fracture capabilities of the method using a multilayered glass model in which 7 glass layers and a single elastic backing layer are affixed by polyvinyl butyral films.

In this study, we develop MPI-OpenMP hybrid parallelization for multibody peridynamic simulations. Peridynamics is suitable for analyzing complicated dynamic fractures and various discontinuities. However, compared with a conventional finite element method, nonlocal interactions in peridynamics cost more time and memory. In multibody peridynamic analysis, the costs increase due to the additional interactions that occur when computing the nonlocal contact and ghost interlayer models between adjacent bodies. The costs become excessive when further refinement and smaller time steps are required in cases of high-velocity impact fracturing or similar instances. Thus, high computational efficiency and performance can be achieved by parallelization and optimization of multibody peridynamic simulations. The analytical code is developed using an Intel Fortran MPI compiler and OpenMP in NURION of the KISTI HPC center and parallelized through MPI-OpenMP hybrid parallelization. Further parallelization is conducted by hybridizing with OpenMP threads in each MPI process. We also try to minimize communication operations by model-based decomposition of MPI processes. The numerical results for the impact fracturing of multiple bodies show that the computing performance improves significantly with MPI-OpenMP hybrid parallelization.

A bond-based peridynamic model has been reported dynamic fracture characteristic of brittle materials through a simple constitutive model. In the model, each bond is assumed to be a simple spring operating independently. As a result, this simple bond interaction modeling restricts the material behavior having a fixed Poisson's ratio of 1/4 and not being capable of expressing shear deformation. We consider a state-based peridynamics as a generalized peridynamic model. Constitutive models in the state-based peridynamics are corresponding to those in continuum theory. In state-based peridynamics, thus, the response of a material particle depends collectively on deformation of all bonds connected to other particles. So, a state-based peridynamic theory can represent the volume and shear changes of the material. In this paper, the perfect plasticity is considered to express plastic deformation of material by the state-based peridynamic constitutive model with perfect plastic flow rule. The elastic-plastic behavior of the material is verified through the stress-strain curves of the flat plate example. Furthermore, we simulate the high-speed impact on 3D granite model with a nonlocal contact modeling. It is observed that the damage patterns obtained by peridynamics are similar to experimental observations.

A new anatomical head model was implemented based on the MR and CT images of the head of a volunteer whose head shape is close to the domestic standard. In order to compare SARs (specific absorption rates) of heads with different shapes, we calculated SARs in the two anatomical head models. The one is the new model and the other is that of the black race and was made at National Library Medicine in USA. The head model and a phone model were arranged in the computational space to be the touch or cheek position of CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation) and FCC guidelines. From the obtained results, we can see that the smaller head produces the higher whole head-averaged SAR. However, it seems that the localized SAR averaged over 1 g or 10 g is more dependent on the shape of the auricle rather than that of the head size.

The rock matrix diffusion provides a retarding mechanism for sorbing and especially non-sorbing radionuclides. It has to be verified not only theoretically and experimentally but also from natural phenomena, before the mechanism can be incorporated fully into transport codes. The natural analogue studies, such as the concentration variation of radionuclides in profiles perpendicular to fluid-conducting fractures and to intrusive contact zones, have been believed to provide a validation. In thermal alteration zones of Naeduckri granite intruded by a pegmatite, large alkali and alkaline earth elements such as K, Rb, Sr, and Ba were moderately migrated during thermal alteration. Li, V. and Nb were also migrated about 9cm in width from the contact between the granite and the pegmatite. The concentration variation of these elements in thermally altered zones seems to be resulted from the local migration due to the re-equilibration among the elements released from the breakdown of primary minerals in the granite. Most of these natural analogue studies simply show only the concentration variation of elements without detailed informations on the diffusion time and other important data fir interpreting the behaviour of radionuclides, because of the absence of appropriate minerals for age data. Despite this problem, natural analogue studies will be needed for transport models of radionuclides in safety assessment.
