Mesoscale simulation using the material point method (MPM) was conducted to study the pressure–volume (PV) variations of Octahydro-1,3,5,7-Tetranitro-1,2,3,5-Tetrazocine (HMX)/Estane polymer-bonded explosive (PBX) under impact loading. The PV isotherms and Hugoniot data were calculated for the different porosities and binder volume fractions. The PV isotherms were used to determine the parameters for the Birch– Murnaghan equation of state (EOS) for the PBX. From the EOS, the isothermal bulk modulus (K0) and its pressure derivative (K′0) were calculated. Additionally, the pseudo particle velocity and pseudo shock velocity variations were used to obtain the bulk wave speed c and dimensionless coefficient s for the Mie–Grüneisen EOS. The simulations provide an alternative approach for determining an EOS that is consistent with experimental observations.

Dam embankment breaches caused by overtopping or internal erosion can impact both life and property downstream. It is important to accurately predict the amount of erosion, peak discharge, and the resulting downstream flow. This paper presents a new model based on the material point method to simulate soil and water interaction and predict failure rate parameters. The model assumes that the dam consists of a homogeneous embankment constructed with cohesive soil, and water inflow is defined by a hydrograph using other readily available reach routing software. The model uses continuum mixture theory to describe each phase where each species individually obeys the conservation of mass and momentum. A two-grid material point method is used to discretize the governing equations. The Drucker–Prager plastic flow model, combined with a Hencky strain-based hyperelasticity model, is used to compute soil stress. Water is modeled as a weakly compressible fluid. Analysis of the model demonstrates the efficacy of our approach for existing examples of overtopping dam breach, dam failures, and collisions. Simulation results from our model are compared with a physical-based breach model, WinDAM C. The new model can capture water and soil interaction at a finer granularity than WinDAM C. The new model gradually removes the granular material during the breach process. The impact of material properties on the dam breach process is also analyzed.
