IGA-PD Penalty-Based Coupling for Immersed Air-Blast Fluid-Structure Interaction: A Simple and Effective Solution for Fracture and Fragmentation
We present a novel formulation for the immersed coupling of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) and Peridynamics (PD) for the simulation of fluid-structure interaction (FSI). We focus on air-blast FSI and address the computational challenges of immersed FSI methods in the simulation of fracture and fragmentation by developing a weakly volume-coupled FSI formulation by means of a simple penalty approach. We show the mathematical formulation and present several numerical examples of inelastic ductile and brittle solids that clearly demonstrate the power and robustness of the proposed methodology.
