Hyperelastic, finite strain

Hyperelastic finite element analysis Accommodates complex geometries. Can handle nonlinearity in material behavior and large strains. Rapid analysis possible. Standard material models available. Does not include rate-dependent behavior. Cannot predict permanent deformation. Does not handle hysteresis. Some material testing may be required. Can produce errors in multiaxial stress states. 

Example 3.3 (Finite strain hyperelastic theory). The hyperelastic theory with assumptions of small strain, as shown in Example 3.1 (p. 102), can be applied to the hyperelastic material undergoing finite strain in a similar manner. In addition, the temperature field is also included.

An elastic stability analysis is presented in this paper for Timoshenko-type beams with variable cross sections taking into consideration the effects of shear deformations under the geometrically non-linear theory based on large displacements and rotations. The constitutive relationship for stresses and finite strains based on a consistent finite strain hyperelastic formulation is proposed. The generalized equilibrium equations for varying arbitrary cross-sectional beams are developed from the virtual work equation. The second variation of the Total Potentid is also derived which enables... 

For other models of flow of electrolytes through porous media the reader is referred to [2], [5], [6]. To take into account FCD (fixed charge density) one has to impose additional condition on the interface T (w) and the electroneutrality condition. A challenging problem is to use homogenisation methods for the case of finitely deformable skeleton, even hyperelastic. The permeability would then necessarily depend on strains. Such a dependence (nonlinear) is important even for small strain, cf. [7]. It is also important to include ion channels [8]. 

A general discussion of Finite element analysis can be found in another article. This article is specifically concerned with hyperelastic materials. A common hyperelastic material of importance in adhesion studies and polymer technology is rubber. A hyperelastic material is a material that undergoes large strains and displacements with little changes...

Finite Elasticity Theory Classical Theory. The finite elasticity theories available today are very powerful and well developed from a phenomenological perspective. Because the K-BKZ (70-72) has the form of a time-dependent finite elasticity (it was developed as a perfect elastic fluid ) it is useful to briefly outline the basics of finite elasticity theory here. In the initial sections of this article, the stress and strain tensors were discussed, and it was noted that the constitutive relationships that arise between the stress and the strain include material parameters called moduli. When a material is classified as hyperelastic then the moduli are related to derivatives of the free energy function (often the Helmholtz free...

Karamanou et al. [65] have performed finite element analyses to large strains to simulate the thermoforming process, in which thin sheets of polymer are inflated using gas pressure. They adopted a model comprising hyperelastic components and a linear viscous element. Applying a thin shell analysis enabled them to produce realistic predictions of the inflating membrane.
