Several variables of different damage models are listed and compared. Based on a specific project
the accuracy of five blasting damage models which are widely used are tested and compared through the user subroutine interface of LS-DYNA. The results show that the calculated values of KUS and RFPA models are more close to the measured values than other blasting models. Based on the KUS model
considering the compression damage
a modified method to determine the macroscopic elastic parameters is put forward; and then a new tension-compression damage model is established. The accuracy of the new tension-compression damage model is verified. The results show that the new tension-compression damage model can describe the damage effect better.
