Abstract
In this paper, dynamic spherical cavity expansion model is developed for rate-dependent concrete material described by modified Drucker-Prager Cap plasticity model incorporated with size effect. Penetration resistance components are computed accordingly with static resistance dependent on projectile diameter scale. Saturated region is introduced to investigate the response of concrete target under high impacting velocity. The validation of the proposed model is conducted by modelling a rigid projectile with full-scale and 1/10-scale diameter penetrating a semi-infinite concrete target. Depth of penetration numerically obtained is also compared with some widely recognized empirical penetration formulae, and better agreement is achieved by the proposed model for penetration tests with various striking velocities.
