Description

This material type is fiber-pow-linear.

The fiber strain energy density is given by

\[ \Psi_{n}\left(I_{n}\right)=\begin{cases} 0 & I_{n}<1\\ \frac{\xi}{\beta}\left(I_{n}-1\right)^{\beta} & 1\leqslant I_{n}\leqslant I_{0}\\ B\left(I_{n}-I_{0}\right)-E\left(I_{n}^{1/2}-I_{0}^{1/2}\right)+\frac{\xi}{\beta}\left(I_{0}-1\right)^{\beta} & I_{0}<I_{n} \end{cases}\,, \]

where \(I_{0}=\lambda_{0}^{2}\),

\[ \xi=\frac{E}{4\left(\beta-1\right)}I_{0}^{-3/2}\left(I_{0}-1\right)^{2-\beta},\,B=\xi\left(I_{0}-1\right)^{\beta-1}+\frac{E}{2}I_{0}^{-1/2} \]

For this material type, the fiber elasticity at the strain origin reduces to zero unless \(\beta=2\).
