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 = + (); =
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 ...
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 .
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 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 .
In homogeneous and isotropic materials, these define Hooke's law in 3D, = + (), where σ is the stress tensor, ε the strain tensor, I the identity matrix and tr the trace function. Hooke's law may be written in terms of tensor components using index notation as σ i j = 2 μ ε i j + λ δ i j ε k k , {\displaystyle \sigma _{ij}=2\mu ...
The compliance matrix is symmetric and must be positive definite for the strain energy density to be positive. This implies from Sylvester's criterion that all the principal minors of the matrix are positive, [6] i.e., := (_ _) >
