TheRajendran-Grove (RG) ceramic damage model is athree-dimensionalinternal variablebased con- stitutive model for ceramic materials, with the consider- ations of micro-crack extension and void collapse. In the presentpaper, the RG ceramic model isimplemented into the newly developed computational framework based on the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method, for solving high-speed impact and penetration problems. Theabilityof theRG model to describetheinternal dam- age evolution and the effective material response is in- vestigated. Several numerical examples are presented, including the rod-on-rod impact, plate-on-plate impact, and ballistic penetration. The computational results are compared with available experiments, as well as those obtained by the popular finite element code (Dyna3D). plemented into EPIC code for investigating the model's abilityto describe the responseof pure alumina (AD995) subjected to various stress/strain loading conditions (Ra- jendran and Grove, 2002). In the present paper, the RG ceramic damage model is implemented into the newly developed computa- tionalcode based on the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method. The MLPG method is a truly mesh- less approach that establishes both the trial and test func- tions in local subdomains. Because of the total elim- ination of the mesh, it is a promising method in solv- ing high-speed contact, impact and penetration problems with severe material-distortion. The detailed description of the MLPG and its applications can be found in the authors' other papers. For comparison and verification purpose, the RG model has also been implemented into thethree-dimensionalcomputationalhydrodynamiccode Dyna3D. Several numerical examples are solved, using either the Dyna3D or the MLPG method, with RG ce- ramic damage model implemented in them. Several nu- merical simulations are conducted: rod-on-rod impact, plate-on-plate impact, and the ballistic impact and pene- tration. The simulation results obtained from Dyna3D, MLPG and available experiments are compared. For completeness purpose, a brief introduction of the RG ce- ramic damage model is included.
