Abstract
We study the dynamic fracture of thin-walled structure mainly due to impact and explosive loading. Therefore, we make use of a meshless smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) shell formulation based on Mindlin–Reissner's theory. The formulation is an extension of the continuum-corrected and stabilized SPH method, so that thin structure can be modeled using only one particle characterizing mean position of shell surface. Fracture is based on separation of particles. We study tearing of pre-notched plates, fracture due to impact loading and dynamic fracture of cylindrical shells.
