Modeling micro-cracked, Salem limestone during monotonic impact in Abaqus Explicit

<p>A finite element model is developed in Abaqus Explicit to determine the resistance of Salem Limestone with three levels of initial micro-cracking to high-speed, monotonic impact. A comprehensive description of the model development is included, and the model is validated by comparing simula...
