Abstract

The Johnson-Holmquist-2 ceramic model is used for quasi-static indentation simulation. A modification is proposed to an associated plasticity formulation. This allows for a fully implicit solution scheme, where dilatation is used instead of the traditional explicit bulking formulation. Dilatation is shown to have an important influence on ring-crack formation during indentation. A mesh refinement study is performed to show the current tensile failure behaviour leads to mesh-dependent results.
