Progress Report on An Exascale Computational Simulation Capability for Pervasive Fracture & Failure

Plews, Julia A.; Mosby, Matthew D.; Tupek, Michael R.; Thomas, Jesse T.; Heinstein, Martin W.

How does a structure fail in an explosion? Is there an engineering design opportunity to mitigate the effects of a blast? These are questions that may be addressed with simulation; however, a computational simulation capability to answer these questions must include developments in material physics modeling and numerical algorithms that we believe are possible, but do not yet exist. This LDRD project proposes to develop the physics models and computational approaches to create a computational simulation approach to answer these physics and engineering questions.
