“…Common to all mechanical analyses of engineering materials and their behavior in structural components is the need for constitutive models that link the states of stress and strain (Runesson, ). There are specific constitutive material models used in FEM‐based explicit dynamics analyses for brittle material modelling such as Johnson–Holmquist (JH‐I, JH‐II, and JH‐III), Drucker‐Prager Strength, and RHT Concrete damage models (ANSYS Documentation, ; Gazonas, ). Not only physical tensile/compression tests but also other mechanical experimental tests, curve‐fitting calculations and strain rate consideration are essential to define the parameters used in most of these material models (Cronin, McIntosch, Kaufmann, Bui, & Berstad, ; Murakami & Kamiya, ; Ruggiero, Iannitti, Bonora, & Ferraro, ).…”
