Comments

  1. The strain energy density W is computed using the following equation:(1)
    W=Ni=12μiαi2(ˉλ1αi+ˉλ2αi+ˉλ3αi3)+Ni=11Di(J1)2i

    with ˉλ=J13λ and J = λ 1 λ 2 λ 3

    where, λi is the ith principal stretch.

  2. The initial shear modulus:(2)
    μ=Ni=1μi
    The Bulk Modulus is calculated as K=2D1 , based on the following rules:
    • If ν=0 , then D1 should be entered entered.
    • If ν0 , D1 input is ignored and will be recalculated and output in the Starter output using the formula:(3)
      D1=3(12v)μ(1+v)
    • If ν=0 and D1 = 0, then a default value of υ=0.495 is used and D1 is calculated using Equation 3
  3. To get a material without Poisson ratio effect, v should be defined with a small value (1e-10).
  4. Further explanation about this law can be found in "Non-Linear Elastic Deformations", by R.W Ogden, Ellis Horwood, 1984.
