Polynomial Hyperelastic Model

Application ID: 12051


This model shows how you can implement a user defined hyperelastic material, using the strain density energy function. The model used is a general Mooney–Rivlin hyperelastic material model defined by a polynomial. In this example, you will see two material models based on the defined expression: a two-term equation and a five-term equation. The two-term Mooney–Rivlin material model implementation is then validated with the results obtained with the predefined Mooney–Rivlin hyperelastic material.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
