Abstract
Significant interest exists in the materials and mechanics research community in predictive constitutive material models; understanding material behavior and characteristics starting from material chemistry molecular representations following molecular dynamics modeling methodologies. Constitutive material models for high strain rate (HSR) loading are mostly phenomenological models obtained from experi-mental investigations. In this chapter, a computational molecular dy-namics modeling methodology based on material chemistry for rele-vant constitutive material models for behavior under HSR loading, with an illustrative application to hydrated cement paste constituent calcium-silicate-hydrate (CSH) represented by mineral Jennite molecu-lar structure is presented.
