Abstract

Tests of dry clay were carried out in a uniaxial stress state using the experimental setup which implements the split Hopkinson pressure bar method. Based on the results of these experiments, the compressive strength of clay was determined as an important element of S.S. Grigoryan’s model of the soil medium. In addition, the parameters of this model are determined from the results of experiments using the modified Kolsky method with a sample enclosed in a rigid cage. To verify the model of the soil medium, special experiments were carried out on the penetration of striker with conical tips into dry clay in a reversed settings. Using this identified model in the LS-Dyna software package, numerical simulation of penetration into clay was carried out under conditions similar to those carried out the reversed experiments. Comparison of the results of physical and numerical experiments showed their satisfactory agreement at a dry friction coefficient of 0.5.
