Hyperelasticity Mooney-Rivlin model

Petrie and Ito (84) used numerical methods to analyze the dynamic deformation of axisymmetric cylindrical HDPE parisons and estimate final thickness. One of the early and important contributions to parison inflation simulation came from DeLorenzi et al. (85-89), who studied thermoforming and isothermal and nonisothermal parison inflation with both two- and three-dimensional formulation, using FEM with a hyperelastic, solidlike constitutive model. Hyperelastic constitutive models (i.e., models that account for the strains that go beyond the linear elastic into the nonlinear elastic region) were also used, among others, by Charrier (90) and by Marckmann et al. (91), who developed a three-dimensional dynamic FEM procedure using a nonlinear hyperelastic Mooney-Rivlin membrane, and who also used a viscoelastic model (92). However, as was pointed out by Laroche et al. (93), hyperelastic constitutive equations do not allow for time dependence and strain-rate dependence. Thus, their assumption of quasi-static equilibrium during parison inflation, and overpredicts stresses because they cannot account for stress relaxation furthermore, the solutions are prone to numerical instabilities. Hyperelastic models like viscoplastic models do allow for strain hardening, however, which is a very important element of the actual inflation process. 

The preceding equations provided a reasonable foundation for predicting DE behavior. Indeed the assumption that DEs behave electronically as variable parallel plate capacitors still holds however, the assumptions of small strains and linear elasticity limit the accuracy of this simple model. More advanced non-linear models have since been developed employing hyperelasticity models such as the Ogden model [144—147], Yeoh model [147, 148], Mooney-Rivlin model [145-146, 149, 150] and others (Fig. 1.11) [147, 151, 152]. Models taking into account the time-dependent viscoelastic nature of the elastomer films [148, 150, 151], the leakage current through the film [151], as well as mechanical hysteresis [153] have also been developed. 

Strain based hyperelastic Mooney-Rivlin material models were used.
