*RATE DEPENDENT
17.8 *RATEDEPENDENT: Define a rate-dependent viscoplastic model.
This option can be used in conjunction with the *PLASTIC option (HARDENING=ISOTROPIC only), the
*DRUCKER PRAGER HARDENING option, and/or the *CRUSHABLE FOAM HARDENING option to
introduce strain rate dependence in the material models.

Optional parameters:
DEPENDENCIES
In an ABAQUS/Explicit analysis this parameter is relevant only for TYPE=POWER LAW or
TYPE=YIELD RATIO.
Set this parameter equal to the number of field variable dependencies in the definition of
material parameters, in addition to temperat ure. If this parame ter is omitted, it is assumed that
the rate-dependent material behavior depends only on te mperature. See “Specifying field va riable
dependence” in “Material data definition,” Section 16.1.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s
Manual, for more information.
TYPE
Set TYPE=POWER LAW(default) to specify the Cowper-Symonds overstress power law.
Set TYPE=JOHNSON COOK in an ABAQUS/Explicit analysisto specify Johnson-Cook rate
dependence (this option must be used with the Johnson-Cook hardening m odel).
Set TYPE=YIELD RATIOto enter yield stress ratios.
If this option is used in conjunction with the *CRUSHABLE FOAM option, the s tatic
hardening relation must be defined on the *CRUSHABLE FOAM HARDENING option.
