Ariadne Materials Library

The table below lists materials for which models are currently available in a ready-to-use format.

An equation of state is included for each material. Some have models for strength, spall, polymorphism and chemical reaction. Units are scaled SI, convenient for most high-pressure applications. Each file includes the initial state (usually at STP), commented out, to be copied to the appropriate place in input data.

In the table below, File is the name of the file containing models for the material and Name is the name used to define the material in the file. (For example, the file name would be used when selecting the materials to include in a calculation, e.g. by in-lining with expandec, and the material name could then be used in the rest of the input to refer to that material, e.g. when setting up a computational mesh.)
