Description

This material describes an unconstrained hyperelastic Ogden material 1.

The hyperelastic strain energy function for this material is given in terms of the eigenvalues of the right or left stretch tensor:

\[ W\left(\lambda_{1},\lambda_{2},\lambda_{3}\right)=\frac{1}{2}c_{p}\left(J-1\right)^{2}+\sum\limits_{i=1}^{N}\frac{c_{i}}{m_{i}^{2}}\left(\lambda_{1}^{m_{i}}+\lambda_{2}^{m_{i}}+\lambda_{3}^{m_{i}}-3-m_{i}\ln J\right). \]

Here, \(\lambda_{i}^{2}\) are the eigenvalues of the right or left Cauchy deformation tensor, \(c_{p}\), \(c_{i}\) and \(m_{i}\) are material coefficients and \(N\) ranges from 1 to 6. Any material parameters that are not specified by the user are assumed to be zero.

Example:

<material id="1" type="Ogden unconstrained">
  <m1>2.4</m1>
  <c1>1</c1>
  <cp>2</cp>
</material>
