The granules were originally not intended for this application purpose, therefore the material behaviour for this load case has to be determined. To this end, the granulate is compressed in an aluminium cylinder to less than half of its initial height. Based on this experiment, the expanded glass is modelled as Mohr-Coulomb material within a nonlinear finite element simulation and the parameters of the constitutive equations are identified from the experimental data.en1617-7061Proceedings in applied mathematics and mechanics20161409410Wiley-VCHhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Technology::624: Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering::624.1: Structural EngineeringTechnology::620: Engineering::620.1: Engineering Mechanics and Materials Science::620.11: Engineering MaterialsTechnology::629: Other Branches::629.1: AviationNatural Sciences and Mathematics::519: Applied Mathematics, ProbabilitiesNatural Sciences and Mathematics::530: PhysicsExperimental and numerical investigation of granular materials for an increase of the collision safety of double-hull vesselsConference Paper10.1002/pamm.201610193https://doi.org/10.15480/882.917810.1002/pamm.20161019310.15480/882.9178Conference Paper
