A numerical model to describe damage in glass under impact loading

This work presents an anisotropic damage model and its non-local extension to deal with fragmentation induced by impact loadings. Discrete cracks are described via non-local damage parameters. The damage model is based on quasi-static properties of flaw distributions and enables us to reproduce dynamic cracking patterns obtained in edge-on-impact tests. Different regimes such as single or multiple fragmentation appear and can be explamed by this approach
