4.1.3.17 Coupled Mooney-Rivlin
The coupled Mooney-Rivlin material describes an unconstrained formulation of the Mooney-Rivlin material. The material type for this material is coupled Mooney-Rivlin. The following material parameters can be defined.
<c1> | Mooney-Rivlin c1 parameter | [P] |
<c2> | Mooney-Rivlin c2 parameter | [P] |
k | “Bulk-modulus” | [P] |
The strain-energy function is given by the following expression. Here, and are the first and second invariants of the right Cauchy-Green deformation tensor and is the determinant of the deformation gradient tensor.
This material model uses a standard displacement-based element formulation, so care must be taken when modeling materials with nearly-incompressible material behavior to avoid element locking. For (nearly-) incompressible materials, use the Mooney-Rivlin material described in Section 4.1.2.7↑.
Example:
<material id="1" type="coupled Mooney-Rivlin"> <c1>10.0</c1> <c2>1.0</c2> <k>100.0</k> </material>
