Study on Collapse Numerical Simulation Method of Frame Structures Based on Explicit Dynamics

Abstract

According to the theory of collapse numerical simulation, the explicit finite element algorithm based on explicit dynamics was chose as the numerical calculation method. And combined with the plane RC frame collapse test and the example of ten layers frame structure, the wire frame model, integrated model and separate model were established and the alternate path method was adopted to study the simulate method of structural collapse. With the comparison of several aspects to the results, the rationality of the numerical simulation method and the applicability of the numerical models were verified respectively. At the same time, according to the complex pre-treatment process to the numerical simulation of structural collapse, an MFC program with the function of exporting APDL file which can generate wireframe models for structural collapse simulation in ANSYS/LS-DYNA was developed using VC++ language with the purpose of offering convenience to the numerical simulation process of structure collapse.
