Simple EOS for Branched (Low-Density) Polyethylene

摘要

A simple equation of state (EOS) for branched (low-density) polyethylene was generated and added to the T-4 Sesame EOS Library as material number 7171. This EOS is intended to replace an earlier EOS (material number 7170) for this substance. This new EOS for polyethylene reproduces the experimental shock Hugoniot data for the initial state density rho/sub o/ = 0.916 g/cm exp 3 or Mg/m exp 3 . (ERA citation 08:012723)
