Dear Osama,

 

Early references for *MAT_159 or *MAT_CSCM

 

This is material type 159.  This is a smooth or continuous surface cap model and is available for solid elements in LS-DYNA.  The user has the option of inputting his own material properties (<BLANK> option), or requesting default material properties for normal strength concrete (CONCRETE).

 

A theory and evaluation paper was presented on *MAT_159 by Yvonne Murray:

 

Murray, Y.D., "Theory and Evaluation of Material Model 159", 8th International LS-DYNA Users Conference, Dearborn, Michigan, May, 2004.

*MAT_159 was used to simulate the pendulum impact on a concrete barrier:
