| Popis: | This paper proposes a novel protective material that enhances the impact resistance of metaconcrete by integrating rubber aggregates. The study delves into the mesoscopic mechanisms of wave attenuation in this material and the regulation of its performance accordingly. It first explores the effect of various design parameters of engineering aggregates on bandgap formation and then further investigates the influence of material viscoelastic properties on its bandgap width. Mesoscale simulations of spalling tests demonstrate that incorporating rubber aggregates can effectively expand the bandgap range, enhance energy absorption, reduce damage to the mortar matrix, and ultimately improve the impact resistance of metaconcrete. Simulation results in the present study highlight the effectiveness of rubber aggregates in strengthening metaconcrete's impact resistance. |
