The JOHNSON-HOLMQUIST-CONCRETE material law is a very interesting material law for concrete modeling, especially for defense applications. This material law has been implemented in Radioss V2024.1. This material law is available with the non-local regularization; this is particulary interesting to have mesh-independant damage patterns. The documentation of this material law is avalable here: https://2024.help.altair.com/2024.1/hwsolvers/rad/topics/solvers/rad/mat_law126_johnson_holmquist_concrete_starter_r.htm 

The goal of this article is to share the validation study of the JOHNSON-HOLMQUIST-CONCRETE material law. image
