Wavecode Constitutive Models: Particulate-Loaded Composites

摘要

In this report, we present the theory and computational implementation of a mechanical constitutive model for particulate-loaded composite materials. We also describe the experiments necessary to determine the material parameters demanded by the models. A major application of these materials is in explosively-stressed component systems. We discuss in detail the implementation of the constitutive model on the one- and two-dimensional Lagrangian wave propagation codes which are the major computational tools used in dynamic simulations.
