Description

This material describes an incompressible hyperelastic Ogden material 1.

The uncoupled hyperelastic strain energy function for this material is given in terms of the eigenvalues of the deformation tensor:

\[ \Psi=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{N}\frac{c_{i}}{m_{i}^{2}}\left(\tilde{\lambda}_{1}^{m_{i}}+\tilde{\lambda}_{2}^{m_{i}}+\tilde{\lambda}_{3}^{m_{i}}-3\right)+U\left(J\right). \]

Here, \(\tilde{\lambda}_{i}^{2}\) are the eigenvalues of \(\mathbf{\tilde{C}}\), \(c_{i}\) and \(m_{i}\) are material coefficients and \(N\) ranges from 1 to 6. Note that you only have to include the material parameters for the terms you intend to use.

Example:

<material id="1" type="Ogden">
  <m1>2.4</m1>
  <c1>1</c1>
  <k>100</k>
</material>
