| Abstract: | In order to understand the effect of hardening ductility parameters and softening ductility parameters of the concrete damage plastic model in LS-DYNA,a sensitivity and reliability analysis of these parameters through a convenient cube unit test was conducted.The results showed that the peak strength strain was independent of the hardening ductility parameter DH,but affected by AH,BH,and CH.The softening ductility was mainly related to the softening ductility parameter AS,but not affected by the damage ductility exponent BS.In case that the model with default parameters failed to match the AS-controlled damage softening phase,an optimized model with an AS correction was developed.The corrected model with the AS value of 2 matched well with the code model,and exhibited good feasibility in predicting the stress-strain curve of different grades of concrete.Moreover,the practicability of the corrected model was further validated by the conventional triaxial test.The simulated curve exhibited favorable consistence with the trial curve.Therefore,the model with parameter correction could provide a prospective reference for predicting the mechanical properties of concrete. |
