Abstract

To investigate the effect and adaptability of dynamic constitutive models on the impact performance of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST), a numerical study on the dynamic properties of CFST under impact loading is conducted. By analyzing the impact response, including impact force, mid-span displacement, energy absorption, and mid-span bending moment, the effect of dynamic constitutive differences in materials on the impact performance of CFST is assessed quantitatively. Moreover, the HJC dynamic model was developed and validated by secondary development in ABAQUS. The findings show that the material model without considering strain rate effects would significantly underestimate the impact performance of CFST members. In contrast, the impact resistance of CFST is overestimated by using the J-C model and the C-S model with biased elastic conditions. The results obtained using the DIFavg model are most in agreement with the results of the actual model. The impact resistance of CFST is only slightly influenced by variations in the dynamic constitutive model of concrete. The impact performance of CFST is accurately predicted by using the VUMAT subroutine to program the HJC dynamic constitutive model.
