A strain energy density function or stored energy density function is a scalar-valued function that relates the strain energy density of a material to the deformation ...
In continuum mechanics, a Mooney–Rivlin solid [1] [2] is a hyperelastic material model where the strain energy density function is a linear combination of two invariants of the left Cauchy–Green deformation tensor.
The primary, and likely most widely employed, strain-energy function formulation is the Mooney-Rivlin model, which reduces to the widely known neo-Hookean model. The strain energy density function for an incompressible Mooney—Rivlin material is = + (); =
The Gent hyperelastic material model [1] is a phenomenological model of rubber elasticity that is based on the concept of limiting chain extensibility. In this model, the strain energy density function is designed such that it has a singularity when the first invariant of the left Cauchy-Green deformation tensor reaches a limiting value .
[2] [4] Tytus Maksymilian Huber (1904), in a paper written in Polish, anticipated to some extent this criterion by properly relying on the distortion strain energy, not on the total strain energy as his predecessors. [5] [6] [7] Heinrich Hencky formulated the same criterion as von Mises independently in 1924. [8]
The concept of strain is used to evaluate how much a given displacement differs locally from a rigid body displacement. [1] [8] [9] One of such strains for large deformations is the Lagrangian finite strain tensor, also called the Green-Lagrangian strain tensor or Green–St-Venant strain tensor, defined as
A hyperelastic or Green elastic material [1] is a type of constitutive model for ideally elastic material for which the stress–strain relationship derives from a strain energy density function. The hyperelastic material is a special case of a Cauchy elastic material .
If the rubber is compressible, a dependence on = can be introduced into the strain energy density; being the deformation gradient. Several possibilities exist, among which the Kaliske–Rothert [5] extension has been found to be reasonably accurate. With that extension, the Arruda-Boyce strain energy density function can be expressed as
