Notes:
  • Only one of the two options is required to define the elasticity: bulk modulus K and shear modulus G, or Young’s modulus E and Poisson’s ratio v.
  • The creep behavior is triggered by deviatoric stress, while the volumetric behavior does not consider creep.
  • The two densities: density-salt ρ, and density-final ρf , should be considered as internal variables for the constitutive level calculation only, which should not be confused with the real material density.
