A numerical approach to model 3D impact scenarios on concrete structures is presented and validated by experimental investigations. Special focus is given to dynamic contact modeling of an impactor loading a concrete plate at very high velocity. In this context, the main aspect is the elimination of non-physical oscillations of the kinematic fields by using an updated Newmark integration scheme. Two...
