Sierra/SolidMechanics 5.20 ITAR Users' Guide: Addendum for Shock Capabilities

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/2429933· OSTI ID:2429933
This is an addendum to the Sierra/SolidMechanics 5.20 User’s Guide that documents additional capabilities available only in alternate versions of the Sierra/SolidMechanics (Sierra/SM) code. These alternate versions are enhanced to provide capabilities that are regulated under the U.S. Department of State’s International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) export control rules. The ITAR regulated codes are only distributed to entities that comply with the ITAR export control requirements. The ITAR enhancements to Sierra/SM include material models with an energy-dependent pressure response (appropriate for very large deformations and strain rates) and capabilities for blast modeling. This document is an addendum only; the standard Sierra/SolidMechanics 5.20 User’s Guide should be referenced for most general descriptions of code capability and use.
