3.14.3.3 The in-situ stretch update rule

The idea behind this update rule is to enforce the fiber stretch induced by the initial prestrain gradient. As with the in-situ stretch generator option, this rule has an isochoric version and an uniaxial version for the update rule.
where , is the fiber stretch induced by the distortion.
parameter description initial value
isochoric Choose the isochoric update rule or not 1(=true)
Example:
<constraint type="in-situ stretch">
  <tolerance>0.01</tolerance>
  <isochoric>1</isochoric>
</constraint>
