Description

The compressible Gent material is defined using the compressible Gent type string.

The strain energy of this material is defined as follows,

\[ \Psi_{r}=-\frac{\mu J_{m}}{2}\ln\left(1-\frac{I_{1}-3}{J_{m}}\right)+\frac{\kappa}{2}\left(\frac{J^{2}-1}{2}-\ln J\right)^{4} \]

Here, \(\mu\) is the shear modulus.

Example:

<material id="2" type="compressible Gent">
  <G>3.14</G>
  <Jm>1.5</Jm>
  <k>1e5</k>
</material>
