Comparison of Neo-Hookean Materials
Introduction
The definition of an isotropic, neo-Hookean is an elastic material that depends ot two elastic constants and in the limit of small deformations is identical to a small-strain, linear-elastic, Hookean material. The currently available MPM Materials that a neo-Hookean material options are:
The first is always a neo-Hookean material. The second has three properties for bulk modulus (K) and two shear modulus (G1 and G2). Is can be considered as neo-Hooken that reduce to small strain material with same bulk modulus and shear modulus G = G1+ G2. The third allows plastic deformation by limiting the amount of elongation in tension or compressure. By turning off the clamping, the clamped neo-Hookean material represents a modified corotated elasticity law.
Elastic Energy Functions
The elastic energy functions for these three material compared are:
