Isotropic, Elastic-Plastic Mie-Grüneisen Material

Constitutive Law

This MPM material uses a Mie-Grüneisen equation of state in the in the elastic regime and can plastically deform according to any selected hardening law.

Mie-Grüneisen Equation of State

The Mie-Grüneisen equation of state defines the pressure only and the Kirchoff pressure is

      [math]\displaystyle{ {p\over \rho_0} = {C_0^2 \eta \left(1 - {1\over 2}\gamma_0 \eta\right) \over (1 - S_1\eta - S_2\eta^2 - S_3 \eta^3)^2} + \gamma_0 U }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \eta }[/math] is fraction compression and given by

      [math]\displaystyle{ \eta = 1 - {\rho_0\over \rho} = 1 - {V\over V_0} = 1 - J }[/math]

and [math]\displaystyle{ \gamma_0 }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ C_0 }[/math], and [math]\displaystyle{ S_i }[/math] are material properties and [math]\displaystyle{ U }[/math] is total internal energy. The above equation applies only in compression ([math]\displaystyle{ \eta\gt 0 }[/math]). In tension, the pressure is given by

      [math]\displaystyle{ P = C_0^2\eta + \gamma_0 U }[/math]

This equation of state also causes a temperature change of

      [math]\displaystyle{ dT = -JT \gamma_0 {V(t+\Delta t)-V(t)\over V} + {dq \over C_V} }[/math]

where dq is dissipated energy that is converted to heat. By including temperature rises and internal energy, this material automatically thermally expands with the appropriate thermal expansion coefficient without need to enter a thermal expansion coefficient. The linear thermal expansion coefficient the results is

      \alpha = {\rho_0\gamma_0\C_v\over 3K_0}
