Comments

  1. With μ=ρρ01

    V=1ρ the specific volume

    η=1+μ

    x=1ρ0ρ

    and E being the internal energy per unit reference volume.

    The pressure is defined by:

    Region 1: μ0 (1)
    P=C1μ+C2μ2+(a+bω)ηE

    with ω=1+EERη2

    Region 2: μ<0 VV0<VS and E<ES (2)
    P=C1μ+(a+bω)ηE
    Region 3: μ<0 , VV0>VS or VV0<VS and EES (3)
    P=C1eβxeαx2μ+(a+beαx2ω)ηE
  2. Equations of state are used by Radioss to compute the hydrodynamic pressure and are compatible with the material laws:
