Comments

When material approaches melting point, the yield strength and shear modulus diminish to zero. Melting energy is defined as:(1)
$E_{m} = E_{c} + ρ_{0} C_{p} T_{m}$

Where,

$E_{c}$

Cold compression energy

$T_{m}$

Melting temperature supposed to be constant

If the internal energy $E$ is less than $E_{m}$ , the shear modulus and the yield strength are defined as:(2)
$G = G_{0} [1 + b_{1} p V^{\frac{1}{3}} - h (T - T_{0})] e^{- \frac{f E}{E - E_{m}}}$

With(3)
$G_{0} = \frac{E_{0}}{2 (1 + ν)}$
(4)
$σ_{y} = {σ^{'}}_{0} [1 + b_{2} p V^{\frac{1}{3}} - h (T - T_{0})] e^{- \frac{f E}{E - E_{m}}}$

Where, ${σ^{'}}_{0}$ is given by a hardening rule:(5)
${σ^{'}}_{0} = σ_{0} {(1 + β ε_{p})}^{n}$

If $ε_{p} > ε_{p}^{\max}$ , then(6)
${σ^{'}}_{0} = σ_{0} {[1 + β ε_{p}^{\max}]}^{n}$

The value of ${σ^{'}}_{0}$ is limited by:(7)
$\min (σ_{0}) \leq {σ^{'}}_{0} \leq σ_{\max}$
If an Equation of State (/EOS) does not refer to this material, the pressure is computed as:(8)
$p = \frac{E_{0}}{3 (1 - 2 ν)} μ$

with $μ = \frac{ρ}{ρ_{0}} - 1$
When $ε_{p}$ reaches $ε_{p}^{m a x}$ , in one integration point, the deviatoric stress of the corresponding integral point is permanently set to 0; however, the solid element is not deleted.
