Description

This is an elasto-plastic material model that is used to predict the detonation onset in explosive materials.

$\displaystyle{\sigma_y = \left( A + B(\varepsilon_{eff}^p)^n \right) \cdot \left( 1 + \frac{\dot{\varepsilon}_{eff}^p}{\dot{\varepsilon}_0} \right)^c}$

Detonation will occur when a damage variable $D$ (starting at $0$) reaches the value $1$.

$\displaystyle{ \dot{D} = \left[ \left( \frac{\mathrm{max}(0,p)}{p_{det}} \right)^{\alpha_{det}} - 1 \right] \cdot \frac{1}{t_{det}} }$

Note that $D$ shrinks at pressures below $p_{det}$, but it is not allowed to drop below $0$.
