5.7.6 Referentially Transversely Isotropic Permeability
This material uses a strain-dependent permeability tensor that is transversely isotropic in the reference configuration, and accommodates strain-induced anisotropy [7]: where is a second order tensor representing the spatial structural tensor describing the axial direction, given by and is a unit vector along the axial direction. Note that the permeability in the reference state ( ) is given by .
