volumetric strain ev. The autogenious volumetric strain is defined by the
following equation by use of the empirical parameters A and B, and the damage
parameter k. A plane strain model divided into 280 elements was used in the
analysis (Fig. 17). Table 3 shows values used in the analysis and the parameters
of the Densification model.
