11.9.7. Shock EOS Bilinear

This is an extension of the Shock EOS Linear property. At high shock strengths nonlinearity in the shock velocity - particle velocity relationship is apparent, particularly for non-metallic materials. To account for this nonlinearity, the input calls for the definition of two linear fits to the shock velocity - particle velocity relationship; one at low shock compressions defined by v > VB and one at high shock compressions defined by v < VE.

The region between VE and VB is covered by a smooth interpolation between the two linear relationships as shown below.

Fit to Shock Velocity-Particle Velocity Relationship

In the input you are prompted for values of the parameters c1, c2, s1, s2, VE/Vo, VB/Vo, Γo and ρo. Then


Note:  This equation of state can only be applied to solid bodies.

The Poisson's ratio is assumed to be zero when calculating effective strain.

A specific heat capacity should be defined with this property to allow the calculation of temperature.
