International audienceThe present paper deals with the characterisation of the static mechanical behaviour of an energetic material all along its lifespan. The material behaviour is viscoplastic, damageable and sensitive to hydrostatic pressure. For such materials, existing models have generally been developed in the framework of transient dynamic behaviour. These models are not suitable for a static study. Therefore a specific experimental protocol and an associated model are developed. Characterisation is derived from both uniaxial compressive, tensile tests and tri-axial tests. Plastic behaviour is described by means of a parabolic yield criterion and a new hardening law. Non-associated plastic flow rule and isotropic damage complete the model. The performance of the model is illustrated through the simulation of various loading paths
