Title: Simple EOS for linear (high-density) polyethylene (Marlex)

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6578387· OSTI ID:6578387

A simple equation of state (EOS) for linear (high-density) polyethylene (Marlex) was generated and added to the T-4 Sesame EOS Library as material number 7180. This new EOS for Marlex reproduces the experimental shock Hugoniot data for the initial state density rho/sub 0/ = 0.954 g/cm/sup 3/ or Mg/m/sup 3/.
