Strength models are used to calculate the deviatoric stress components that describe a material’s resistance to shear deformation. Several models are widely implemented in hydrodynamics codes.
Perhaps the most widely used in shock physics, it relates the pressure and internal energy of a solid to a reference state (often the Hugoniot curve). equation of state and strength properties of selected
What does this mean for practitioners and decision-makers? Strength models are used to calculate the deviatoric
