Chapter 1. Introduction
Chapter 1. Introduction
There have been many attempts to characterize hazards associated with explosives. The
primary motivation for this work is to determine the circumstances under which the
explosives can be safely and reliably handled and used. Simple models such as the P
[Walker & Wasley, 1969] and the Vd [Held, 1984] criterion, where the initiation threshold is
characterized by values of the impact pressure P and its duration or by values of an
impacting projectile's velocity V and diameter d, have been successful in providing criteria
for initiation with simple geometries, but they have not been shown to be reliable for more
complex problems.
The Forest Fire model [Mader & Forest, 1976] was an early model of explosive initiation,
developed for hydrodynamic codes, that made use of Pop plots (of run distance to
detonation versus shock pressure) [Ramsay & Popolato, 1965] in deriving model
coefficients. The Forest Fire model is able to match the Pop plots, but it is not as successful
in matching pressure-time data obtained from gauges embedded in the explosive. Recent
extensions of the Forest Fire model ([Johnson et al., 1985] and [Tang, 1991]) may improve
its ability to match a broader set of experiments.
The ignition and growth model described below is able to match gauge data as well as the
Pop plots. This document describes the background of this model and its implementation in
the AUTODYN codes (Version 3.0 and 4.1). It concludes with a description of calculations
done to evaluate the model and a discussion of the results of the analysis.
Chapter 2. Ignition and Growth Model of Explosive Initiation
Chapter 2. Ignition and Growth Model of Explosive Initiation

E.L. Lee and C.M. Tarver discussed the ignition and growth model of explosive
initiation in detail in 1980 [Lee & Tarver, 1980]. The model was based on the assumption,
supported by considerable experimental data, that ignition starts at hot spots and grows
outwards from these sites. Lee and Tarver described a two-step reaction rate model with a
term for ignition of the explosive and a term for growth; the two-step approach was later
replaced by the three-step model implemented in AUTODYN (see below). The reaction rate
in this early model was given by:
F t = I (1 F ) x r + G (1 F ) x F y P z ,
(2.1)
where the compression was:
= / 0 1
(2.2)
( and 0 were the current and ambient densities). In Equation (2.1) F was the reaction ratio
(ratio of the mass of the gaseous explosive to the total mass of the explosive), P was the
pressure in the explosive, and I, x, r, G, y, and z were constants. In this model, r 4 , so the
ignition term depended on the fourth power of the explosive compression.
Later, C.M. Tarver et al. [Tarver et al., 1985] improved the explosive initiation model,
conceiving it as a three-step process (ignition, growth, and completion). The newer model
overcame the discrepancies observed with the earlier model for very short shock pulse duration initiation data. In this model (implemented in AUTODYN), the reaction rate is given by:
F t = I (1 F ) b ( a ) x + G1 (1 F ) c F d P y
+ G2 (1 F ) e F g P z ,
(2.3)
where F, , and P are defined as above, and I, b, a, x, G1, c, d, y, G2, e, g, and z

are constants. The model represented by Equation (2.3) gives a quick pressure
spike on ignition, followed by a slow growth of the reaction that accelerates when the
regions around the hot spots begin to coalesce. Processes represented by Equation
(2.1) are a subset of those represented by Equation (2.3), i.e., the latter supersedes
the former.
Chapter 3. Implementation in the AUTODYN Codes

The Lee and Tarver ignition and growth model of explosive initiation in the
AUTODYN codes determines the pressure, internal energy, sound speed, and
reaction ratio at the end of the time step. The reaction ratio F is stored in AUTODYN
variable ALPHA.
The model adjusts the sound speed to be consistent with the user-defined reaction
zone width (Wreac) and maximum reaction ratio increment (Fmax). It does not
adjust the sound speed when a cell contains either fully unreacted (F = 0) or fully
gaseous (F = 1) explosive.
The pressure iteration converges when the difference between the unreacted and
gaseous pressures is less than 10-4PCJ. For the unreacted explosive (F = 0), when
Vu > Vu, max, Pu(Vu) = 0, where the value Vu, max 1 is the user-defined maximum
relative volume, i.e., the explosive can produce a tensile stress when appropriate.
During iteration the relative volume of the unreacted explosive Vu is bounded below
by the value Vu, min. Vu, min = (s - 1)/s for the shock EOS, where s is the slope of
the shock velocity/particle velocity fit, and Vu, min = VVNS /1.10 for the JWL EOS,
where VVNS is the user-defined Von Neumann spike volume.
On the first call, AUTODYN lists the ignition and growth parameters on the log file.
On the first call and whenever parameter values change (as when the calculation is
restarted and when the calculation contains more than one explosive), AUTODYN
initializes control values and produces an appropriate message if any parameter
values are out of range. For pressure-volume relationship of the unreacted
explosive, one of the two following requirements must be met:
(1) When modeled with the shock EOS, the user-defined slope of the shock
velocity/
particle velocity fit s is not allowed to take on values in the range 0 < s <
1.
(2) When modeled with the JWL EOS,
(a) VVNS < VCJ, where VVNS is the user-defined Von Neumann spike
volume and the Chapman-Jouguet volume is defined as
VCJ ( 0 uD2 PCJ ) ( 0 uD2 ) , for user-defined values of ambient density
0 and detonation velocity uD.

(b) Pg(VCJ, ECJ) PCJ, where Pg is the pressure evaluated with the
gaseous equation of state and ECJ is the internal energy consistent
1
with VCJ. Here E CJ = E 0, g PCJ (VCJ 1) . AUTODYN accepts PCJ
2
when P VCJ , ECJ PCJ PCJ < 0.01 .
The first requirement follows from properties of all materials; the second, from the physics of
detonations; if either is violated, pressure equilibrium cannot be assured. To satisfy the
second requirement, the Chapman-Jouguet pressure and the detonation velocity must be
consistent with the gaseous equation of state.
The ignition and growth model in AUTODYN achieves rapid, graceful convergence
when using the JWL unreacted EOS by limiting the range of pressures considered. It
does this by restricting the values of iterated specific volumes to Vu > VVNS /1.10.
The user can select any value for VVNS less than VCJ and greater than zero, but a
value only slightly less than VCJ (for example, the actual Von Neumann spike
volume, if known) will give the best results.
The AUTODYN implementation of the ignition and growth model has been tested
and calibrated without error with common explosives such as PBX-9404. The model
has gone through a reasonable amount of testing, but there may be sets of
parameter values that cause AUTODYN to make inexact estimates. For example, in
the unusual situation of an explosive that has just begun to react (F 0.01) and is
highly expanded (V 1.6), the unreacted and gaseous equations of state can have
multiple intersections, causing difficulty in convergence.
AUTODYN monitors activity and counts the number of times errors occur. When
errors occur, the program puts the message "<> L&T EOS Log File Dump <>" at the
bottom of the screen and writes diagnostic information to the log file. When the
number of errors equals a multiple of 100, AUTODYN wraps up the calculation.
Some errors sensed by AUTODYN have no effect on the integrity of a calculation.
For example, with the case described above, the condition is likely to occur at the
edge of an unconfined explosive that is some distance from the region of interest.
Error messages and steps to eliminate them are listed in Appendix A. Users who
may have missed an on-screen message can check the log file when finished with a
calculation to determine whether or not an error was detected.
1.
Pressure Equilibrium
For the ignition and growth model in AUTODYN, the unreacted explosive is
characterized with either the shock equation of state (EOS) or with the JWL EOS.
The gaseous explosive is characterized with the JWL equation of state. The model
computes a pressure that is the same in both the unreacted and the gaseous phases
of the explosive, consistent with the required values of the relative density = / 0 ,
the reaction ratio F, and the internal energy per unit mass E.
For the model in the AUTODYN codes, the computed change in internal energy in a given
time step is consistent with the change in pressure. Note that this implies that the unreacted
and gaseous phases are not necessarily in thermal equilibrium in a cell; a reasonable
assumption for explosives undergoing fast reaction. Another alternative is to assume thermal
equilibrium (as in the DYNA codes) and to divide the internal energy between unreacted and
gaseous phases consistent with this assumption. J. Wackerle and A.B. Anderson [Wackerle
10
& Anderson, 1984] studied both alternatives and obtained essentially equivalent results with
each. For the present time, there appears to be no advantage to one approach or the other,
but, if, in the future, heat conduction is implemented along with the ignition and growth
model to study problems such as the deflagration-to-detonation transition, the approach in
AUTODYN may have the advantage of finer resolution of the thermal flux.
The pressures in the unreacted and the gaseous phases of the explosive depend on
the relative densities of the explosive in these two phases (Figure 1). The model
iterates on the relative density of the unreacted explosive u until it achieves
pressure equilibrium, and it returns the so-derived pressure P. Given the relative
density of the unreacted explosive u, the relative density of the gaseous explosive
g is:
g = F u / [ u (1 F )] .

2.
Explosive Equation of State and Related Parameters
The explosive in the ignition and growth model can be unreacted, gaseous, or both.
The gaseous explosive is modeled with the JWL equation of state (EOS). The
unreacted explosive can be modeled with either the shock or the JWL EOS. The
user selects the shock EOS by choosing c0 > 0 and by setting appropriate values for
the parameters s and ; when c0 = 0, the user supplies instead the parameters for
the JWL unreacted EOS.
Shock Equation of State The shock EOS can be written as:
P (Vu , E ) = PH (Vu ) +
0
Vu
[ Eu (Vu , E ) E H (Vu )] ,
(3.2)
where PH (Vu ) is the Hugoniot pressure, Eu (Vu , E ) = (EVu E 0,g ) 0 is the internal
energy per unit mass for the unreacted explosive, E is the current internal energy per
11
unit volume in a cell, E0, g is the initial internal energy per unit volume, E H (Vu ) is the
Hugoniot energy per unit mass, Vu = 0 / u = 1 / u is the relative volume of the
unreacted ("u") explosive, and is the Grneisen coefficient. The Hugoniot pressure
and energy are defined as follows:
2
PH (Vu ) = 0c0 (1 Vu ) / [1 s(1 Vu )] and

1
E H (Vu ) = {c0 (1 Vu ) / [1 s(1 Vu )]}2 = PH (Vu ) (1 Vu ) / 0 ,

2
2
(3.2')
(3.2")
where c0 is the ambient bulk sound speed and s is the slope of the shockvelocity/particle-velocity fit ( us = c0 + s u p ). These equations imply that Vu > ( s 1) / s .
AUTODYN recognizes this limitation of the shock equation of state. As it iterates
towards convergence, it does not allow Vu to become smaller than ( s 1) / s .
Typically, s 2. 5 for explosives, so this means that Vu must be greater than
approximately 0.60, a reasonable limit. AUTODYN accepts all values for s 1 and
the value s = 0. In the latter case the pressure-volume relationship is linear with the
bulk modulus equal to 0 c02 .
The sound speed cex for the shock EOS is given by the following relationship:

A JWL form for the unreacted explosive was reported in both [Lee & Tarver, 1980] and
[Tarver et al., 1985]. AUTODYN allows the shock form in addition to the JWL form because
the shock EOS coefficients for unreacted explosives are more widely available than are the
JWL coefficients. As more data on the response of unreacted explosives is collected, more
accurate fits, such as those possible with the JWL form, can be obtained.
12
JWL Equation of State (EOS) The JWL EOS can be written as:
P (V , E ) = PAB (V ) +
E

, where

and

E2
V2
(3.5')
(3.5")
E 2 = E 1 P V , where P = 12 (P1 + P2 ) and V = V2 V1 .
(3.6)
Equation (3.6), known as the Hugoniot relation [Courant & Friedrichs, 1948], states that the
change in internal energy across a shock front is equal to the product of the average
pressure and the change in volume (the "PdV" work). Generally, as the volume increases,
the internal energy decreases. Equation (3.5") can be substituted into Equation (3.6) to
obtain the following relationship:
E 2 = E 1 12 [P1 + PAB (V2 )] V
1 + 2V V .
2
(3.7)
This equation gives the change in energy resulting from a change in volume from some
reference state at which the pressure is known.
Equation (3.4) is the generalized form of the JWL EOS. For the unreacted
phase,
Pu (Vu , E ) = PAB ,u (Vu ) +
Pg (Vg , E ) = PAB , g (Vg ) +
E u (E
Vu
E g (E
Vg
) , where E (E ) = E (E
u
) , where E (E ) = E
g
0,g
E 0,u ) V , and
, for the gaseous
phase.
For the ambient, unreacted explosive (denoted with the subscript "u"), Pu = 0 when
Vu = 1. For this case, Equation (3.4) reduces to the relationship E 0,u = PAB ,u (1) u ,
where E 0,u is the ambient internal energy. For the unreacted explosive the ambient
internal energy is simply a parameter that causes the pressure to be zero when the
density equals the reference density 0. For the gaseous explosive, the ambient
internal energy is the amount of energy available from the reaction of the explosive
constituents.

The isentropic form of the JWL equation of state is as follows:

PS (V ) = A e R 1V + B e
2 V
+ C V ( +1) ,
(3.8)
The sound speed is given by:

(3.10)
For the gaseous JWL equation of state the analysis requires the Chapman-Jouguet
pressure PCJ, the detonation velocity uD, and the ambient internal energy per unit
volume E 0,g ; for the unreacted JWL EOS, the analysis requires the Von Neumann
spike volume VVNS and the ambient internal energy per unit volume E 0,u
Whether the unreacted explosive is modeled with the shock or the JWL equation of
state, the analysis requires values for the maximum volume in tension (Vu, max), the
nominal reaction zone width (Wreac), and the maximum change in the reaction ratio
in
a
time
step
(Fmax), as well as the reaction parameters for Equation (2.3).

The range [0, ] signifies all values greater than or equal to zero; the range (0, ]
signifies all values greater than zero. Other ranges are defined by analogy. The
gaseous JWL equation of state parameters (indexed 2 to 9 in the above table) are
from [Tarver & Hallquist, 1981]. For PBX-9404, AUTODYN initializes internal
energies (per unit mass) in cells to be 5.53746 GPamm3/mg (10.2 GPa/1.842
mg/mm3). The unreacted JWL equation of state parameters (called JWL #2 in
section 4.2 and indexed 13 to 19 in the above table, activated by the value c0 = 0.0)
are from [Tarver & Hallquist, 1981]. The reaction rate parameters (indexed 23 to 37
in the above table) are from [Tarver et al., 1985] , converted to mm-mg-s units. The
reaction rate symbols are those in Equation (2.3). Appendix B lists Lee & Tarver
EOS parameters for several explosives and variants; the above model is identified
there as PBX9404JJ2.
The parameters FI, max, FG1,max, and FG2,min are cutoffs on the three terms in
Equation (2.3): the first term is set to zero when F exceeds FI, max ; the second term
is set to zero when F exceeds FG1,max ; and the third term is set to zero when F is
less than FG2,min .

Chapter 4. Benchmark Calculations

This section describes benchmark calculations of two types of explosive initiation
experiments to demonstrate the Lee and Tarver model in Version 3 of both AUTODYN 2D
and AUTODYN 3D. The calculations verified that the codes could simulate threshold
behavior observed in wedge tests and in flyer plate experiments. The section concludes with
a review of the calculations, to guide further study and applications.
1.
Flyer Plate Impact Calculations
Figure 2 illustrates the flyer plate impact experiment [Weingart et al., 1976]. An exploding foil
drives a polyethylene terepthalate (PET or Mylar) flyer into an explosive sample, which
initiates when the velocity of the flyer exceeds a threshold value. For a flyer thickness of
0.25 mm, the threshold velocity for PBX-9404 was measured to be 1.9 0.2 mm/s. The
analysis reported in [Tarver et al., 1985] gave a threshold of 2.55 0.05 mm/s. Calculations
of flyers at velocities of 2.6 and 2.8 mm/s are reported here that suggest a threshold
greater than 2.6 mm/s but less than 2.8 mm/s.

opposite (upper) surface has a coating that flashes when shocked to a
pressure of 20 GPa. A streak camera records a bright flash on the upper
surface when initiation occurs.

The calculations described in this section were made with the three-term, 1985 model for
PBX-9404 (with an ignition term that depends on the 20th power of the explosive
compression) and the JWL equation of state (EOS) for the unreacted explosive. With the
shock EOS for the unreacted explosive, pressures were slightly higher.
The flyer plates in the experiments were thin. The initial shock wave was followed by a
rarefaction wave that had the potential of quenching the buildup to detonation. The buildup
could also be quenched by the rarefaction wave that occurred when the initial shock wave
reflected from the upper surface of the explosive (the aft surface, relative to the shock wave).
These calculations show how the rarefaction wave from the aft surface affected the pressure
buildup.
The observed threshold velocity depended on the thickness of the explosive and on
the experimental approach for detecting initiation. The samples in the experiments
were 19 mm thick. They were coated on the aft surface with Al2(SiF6)3, which flashes
at a pressure of 20 GPa. Hence, the criterion for initiation in the experiments (and in
the calculations) was a pressure of 20 GPa at the aft surface of a 19 mm-thick
sample.
The flyer plate impact experiment is a one-dimensional phenomenon represented in
AUTODYN 2D as indicated in Figure 3. The Mylar (PET) flyer was modeled with a
hydrodynamic strength model, a density of 1.40 mg/mm3, and a shock equation of
state (EOS) with c0 = 2.54 mm/s and s = 1.49. The Lee and Tarver parameters for
the PBX-9404 explosive were those listed in Section 3.3. The JWL form for the
unreacted EOS was used, and the explosive had a Von Mises strength model, with a
shear modulus G = 4.54 GPa and a yield strength Y = 0.2 GPa (the value used in
[Tarver & Hallquist, 1981], about twenty times the high strain rate tensile strength
[Dobratz & Crawford, 1985]).

not change the run distances. Indices are in square brackets, and
coordinates (mm units) are in parentheses on the figure. Moving target
points were located at increments of 1.0 mm, ending 0.5 mm from the aft
(right) surface of the PBX-9404 explosive.
18
Target points were placed 0.5 mm from the aft surface and at 1.0 mm increments from this
point. In particular, target point number 21 was 0.5 mm from the aft surface, and target point
number 20 was 1.5 mm from the aft surface. In the case of the 2.6 mm/s velocity, the
pressure exceeded the 20 GPa threshold for all target points other than the one numbered
21; at this location, the pressure history had two peaks, one from the initial shock and one
from the quenched detonation (Figure 4a). In the case of the 2.8 mm/s velocity, the
pressure exceeded 20 GPa at all points (Figure 4b). The reaction ratio histories show
incomplete burning near the aft surface for V = 2.6 mm/s (Figure 5a) but complete burning
for 2.8 mm/s (Figure 5b). The detonation outran the rarefaction wave in the latter case. The
compressions were close to the nominal 0.30 value expected for initiation of PBX-9404
(Figures 6a and 6b).

Wedge Test (Pop Plot) Calculations
Figure 8 is a diagram of the wedge test [Gibbs & Popolato, 1980]. The wedge test
determines the run distance to detonation for a given level of pressure in an explosive. By
contrast to the impacts of thin flyers on an explosive, such as those described in Section 4.1,
there is no rarefaction wave that may quench the detonation in the wedge test.
The calculations of the wedge test were made with Euler as well as Lagrange zoning in
AUTODYN 2D. One calculation with Lagrange zoning was also made with AUTODYN 3D.
Figure 9 shows the setup for the calculations. Subroutine EXEDIT (Appendix B) recorded the
maximum pressure in each cell and the location and the time at which the maximum
occurred. Initiation was assumed to have occurred when the pressure exceeded 37 GPa, the
detonation pressure of PBX-9404.
The brass attenuator impacting the explosive was modeled with a shock equation of
state (EOS). The density was 8.45 mg/mm, and the shock EOS parameters were:
c0 = 3.726 mm/s, s = 1.434, and = 2.04. The shear modulus for the Von Mises
strength model was G = 37.3 GPa, and the yield strength, Y = 2.0 GPa. The PBX9404 explosive also had a Von Mises strength model, with shear modulus G = 4.54
GPa and yield strength Y = 0.20 GPa. Several variants of the explosive EOS were
tried.

Figure 8. Arrangement for the wedge test. The explosive and attenuator layers tailor
the shock into the explosive sample; the emerging pressure is constant
over the time frame of interest. The test is repeated for two or more levels
of pressure acting within the sample. The sloping surface of the sample is
coated with a reflective layer. Light does not reflect off the layer after the
passage of the shock through the sample; the breakout of the shock is
recorded on film in a streak camera. The velocity of the shock is
determined from the slope of the thickness/time curve. After detonation of
the sample, the velocity of the shock equals the detonation velocity. The
run distance to detonation is the thickness at which the transition to
detonation occurs.

The (two-term) "1980" parameters for PBX-9404 are defined in [Lee & Tarver, 1980];
The (two-term) "1981" parameters are from [Tarver & Hallquist, 1981]; and the
(three-term) "1985" parameters for PBX-9404 are from [Tarver et al., 1985]. "JWL
#1" refers to JWL EOS values for PBX-9404 published in [Lee & Tarver, 1980]; "JWL
#2" refers to values published in [Tarver & Hallquist, 1981]. The unreacted shock
equation of state parameters are from Table 7-5 of [Dobratz & Crawford, 1985]; the
value of was estimated from tabulated values for similar explosives. The entries in
the "Model" column of the table above are the suffixes to the PBX-9404 models in
Appendix B, e.g., "JJ2" refers to model "PBX9404JJ2."
The relationship between attenuator velocity and initial pressure was determined from
AUTODYN 2D analysis in which the ignition and growth coefficients were set to zero. The
run distances were obtained either from interpolation (looking for the location at which the
Chapman-Jouguet pressure, 37 GPa, was first exceeded) on pressure-time histories or from
profiles of maximum pressure and time at maximum pressure. Both methods gave the same
run distances.
An alternative and more time-consuming approach to finding the run distance was to look for
points of inflection on plots of shock arrival time versus location (much like looking for points
of inflection on streak records from the wedge test). This was tried in a few cases (for
example, Figure 10), and it gave results that agreed with the methods described above.
DYNA shock arrival values were not available; hence the former methods were used so that
DYNA and AUTODYN could be directly compared.

Figure 11 summarizes the results of the Lagrange calculations listed in the table
above. DYNA and AUTODYN calculations with equivalent models are represented
with open and closed circles and boxes in Figure 10. The agreement between
analytical approaches is good, but the slopes of the curves do not match the
experimental slope. Further study of the computed values such as with the
alternative approach outlined above may yield better correspondence between the
calculations and the experiments.

Lagrange and Euler Calculations of Explosives In addition to the eight Lagrange Pop
plot calculations described above, made with AUTODYN 2D , v. 3.0, two calculations
were also, one (11A) with the explosive modeled using Lagrange cells as in Figure
9a (made with AUTODYN 2D v 3.0, v 3.1, and v 4.1), and one (12A) with the
explosive modeled using Euler cells as in Figure 9b (made with AUTODYN 2D v 3.0
and v 3.1). Both used PBX9404JJ2, the same parameter set as in calculation 9A
(1985 ignition and growth parameters and JWL #2 unreacted EOS).
The peak pressure in the Lagrange calculation was about 45 GPa; it was about 50 GPa in
the Euler calculation (Figure 12). Although the peak pressures were higher in the Euler
calculation, the initiation threshold occurred at about the same time and at the location as in
the equivalent Lagrange calculation. The run distance for the Lagrange calculation, 11A,
was 11.1 mm; for the Euler calculation, 12A, it was 10.4 mm. The reaction ratio curves were
almost identical (Figure 13). Post-initiation compressions were about 0.35 in the Lagrange
calculation and were about 0.40 in the Euler calculation (Figure 14). Initial locations of target
points indicated on Figures 12, 13, and 14 are as follows:

Review of Computations
The calculations presented in subsections 4.1 and 4.2 show that the Lee and Tarver ignition
and growth model, as implemented in the AUTODYN codes, Version 3.0 and v 4.1, faithfully
detects the initiation threshold for PBX-9404 in the wedge test and in the flyer plate
experiment.
The three-term model is recommended when an explosive has been thoroughly

characterized (for example, with embedded gauges) or when its primary constituents
react with two time-scales. Otherwise, when there is only limited data available, the
two-term model is recommended. With the AUTODYN codes, the user has greater
flexibility in the development of an ignition and growth model with the shock form of
equation of state (EOS) for the unreacted explosive as an option. Examples of
ignition and growth models for the explosives Octol, Composition B, and H6 in which
the shock form of the unreacted explosive has been used are in [Davison, 1992],
[von Rosen, 1994] and [von Rosen, 1997]. Parameter values are listed in Appendix
B.
The calculations verified the following features of the ignition and growth computational
approach in AUTODYN:
AUTODYN can compute explosive initiation in problems requiring either

Lagrange or Euler zoning (or both);
The shock equation of state model for the unreacted explosive is a proven,
practical alternative to the JWL form when little performance data is
available for an explosive; and
28
The model is valid for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional

analysis.

Appendix A. Error Messages and Error Handling
APPENDIX A: ERROR MESSAGES AND ERROR HANDLING

Initialization Errors: Parameters for The Lee & Tarver equation of state are allowed
to take on the limited ranges indicated on the table in Section 3.3. When a value falls
outside the range prescribed, the user is prompted to choose a more suitable value.
Run Time Errors: The following "LT" messages are written to the log file when "<>
L&T EOS Log File Dump <>" appears onscreen. The other messages, also written to
the log file, clarify the "LT" messages. "LI" messages report problems with pressure
and energy iterations. "PI" messages report specifics related to the pressure
iteration.

Appendix C. Subroutine EXEDIT
APPENDIX C: SUBROUTINE EXEDIT

EXEDIT retains the maximum pressure and the time and location at which the
maximum pressure occurs for all cells. Versions for AUTODYN 2D and 3D follow:
SUBROUTINE EXEDIT
! ************************************************************************
!
!
!
!
!
!
!

!
THIS IS A USER SUPPLIED SUBROUTINE WHICH CAN BE USED TO PROVIDE

SPECIAL CUSTOM EDITING. THE FREQUENCY AT WHICH THIS SUBROUTINE
IS CALLED IS DEFINED THROUGH INPUT (GLOBAL-EDIT-USER). WHEN
REQUESTED, IT IS CALLED BY THE EDIT PROCESSOR AT THE END OF A
COMPUTATIONAL CYCLE. THE ROUTINE IS CALLED BEFORE ANY OTHER
TYPES OF STANDARD EDITS ARE CALLED FOR THAT CYCLE (EG. PRINT,
SAVE, HISTORY, DISPLAY, ETC), SO IT MAY ALSO BE USED TO SET UP
DATA TO BE PROCESSED BY OTHER EDIT TYPES.
FOR 2D VERSION 4.1 (FORTRAN 90)
