14.1 VUEOS: User subroutine to define equation of state material model

Product: Abaqus/Explicit  

Benefits: You can now use user subroutine VUEOS to define a hydrodynamic material model in which the material's volumetric response is determined by your own definition of the equation of state.

Description: The equation of state defines the pressure as a function of the current density, , and the internal energy per unit mass, : . Abaqus/Explicit solves the energy equation together with the equation of state using an iterative method. The pressure stress, , and the derivatives of the pressure with respect to the internal energy and to the density, and , must be provided by user subroutine VUEOS.
